ABOUT THE BOOK:

 The Dharmasutras are the four surviving works of the ancient Indian expert
tradition on the subject of dharma, or the rules of behavior a community
recognizes as binding on its members. Written in a pithy and aphoristic
style and representing the culmination of a long tradition of scholarship,
the Dharmasutras record intense disputes and divergent views on a wide
variety of religious and social issues. These unique documents give us a
glimpse of how people, especially Brahmin males, were ideally expected to
live their lives within an ordered and hierarchically arranged society. In
this first English translation of these documents for over a century,
Patrick Olivelle uses the same lucid and elegant style of his award-winning
translation of the Upanisads and incorporates the most recent scholarship
on ancient Indian law, society and religion. The fresh editions of the
Sanskrit texts present new manuscript material, variants recorded in
medieval commentaries and legal diigests, and emendations suggested by
philologists.
