Manu - The Ancient Indian Hindu Law Maker

Manu

The legendary first man and lawgiver, Manu is an ancient Indian Hindu Hindu King. Through his elaborated work Manu-smriti, which means “Laws of Manu” or “The Remembered Tradition of Manu”.  Traditionally this is the most authoritative of the books of the Hindu code in India. 

The Manu-smriti prescribes to Hindus their dharma—i.e., that set of obligations incumbent on each as a member of one of the four social classes (varnas) and engaged in one of the four stages of life.
