This work is volume XXV of the Sacred Books of the East series. It is translated by Georg Buhler. This work, consisting of one hundred thousand verses, was composed by Pragapati (Brahman) ; it was successively abridged by Manu and others. This account of the origin of our Manu-smriti would have to be slightly modified by those who accept as genuine the verse. which stands at the beginning of the Smriti according to the commentators Govindaraga, Narayawa, and Raghavananda, as well as according to the Kasmir copy and other MSS. As this verse contains an invocation of the selfexistent Brahman, and a promise to explain the laws which Manu taught.
