In Hindu mythology, Manu is the progenitor of the human race. He is thus the lord and guardian of the living, and his name is attatches to the most important codification of Hindu law, the Manava-dharma-sastra (Laws of Manu). This text by Buhler since its first appearance has remained the most authentic and accepted English translation. The text has, for the first time, been rendered in a narrative form, making it an enjoyable reading for the serious scholars as well as the general readers.

* The Manusmriti, or Laws of Manu, is an important statement of Hindu law. Attributed to Manu, the progenitor of humanity in Hindu theology, it was compiled in its final form around 200 BCE. It is a collection of laws governing individuals, communities and nations and is an important (and somewhat controversial) source of information about the caste system and the status of women. This work achieved its international prominence through Jones [1746-1794], the able judge of the High Court of Calcutta and brilliant linguist, who produced the first complete English translation. Jones was attracted to this work because of its structural similarities to the Institutes of Justinian. Intending to become the "Justinian of India," he intended to follow this translation with translations of other texts that resembled other parts of the Corpus Juris Civilis. He did not live long enough to complete his great project.

I watched curiously the ants that were trying to escape from the flood to a plant's branch. They stood over the water level, forming a shape like a funnel, upside down by climbing one upon another's back. My father saw that, came near to me and explained the hard work and attitude of the ants. My baby brain could not understand the true meaning of the words while he said, "We should watch and study the ants. We should try to live like them." But I shook my head in the sense of consent, as I understood everything. My father talks more about ants, maybe because of my cheerful response. Whether he was aware of it or not, my father was sowing the seeds of my first story in my tiny mind.
