Art. II.—A MS. of the Nārada Smṛiti

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  15 March 2011

Extract

The Nārada Smṛiti is said by Professor Jolly to be important, both as being the only Smṛiti completely preserved in MSS. which treats of law apart from penance and other religious subjects, and as reflecting the social and political state of India at the time of its compilation.
