About the Book:-This is a translation of the Hindu law books written about the sixth century CE by Narada and Brihaspati. The Narada smriti is described as an abridgment made by Narada of the ninth or Vyavahara (legal) chapter of the original code in 100,000 slokas. The first part of Narada’s abridgment of the ninth chapter of Manu’s code is designed as a matrika or vyavahara-matrika, ‘summary of proceedings-at-law’ or ‘general rules of procedure.’ Brihaspati was an inspired writer by the very earliest commentators of law-books such as e.g. by Medhatithi( ninth century), proves him to have preceded those commentators by several centuries. About the Author;-Friedrich Max Müller (1823 –1900) was a German-born philologist and Orientalist, who lived and studied in Britain for most of his life. He was one of the founders of the western academic disciplines of Indian studies and religious studies ('science of religion', German: Religionswissenschaft). Müller wrote both scholarly and popular works on the subject of Indology. The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume set of English translations, was prepared under his direction. Professor Julius Jolly (December 28, 1849 - April 24, 1932) was a German scholar and translator of Indian law and medicine.

His doctoral thesis was Die Moduslehre in den alt-iranischen Dialekten ("Moods in Ancient Iranian Dialects"). Jolly became a Professor in the University of Würzburg in 1877, in the fields of comparative linguistics and Sanskrit.
