Overview

Excerpt from The Laws of Manu: Translated With Extracts From Seven Commentraries Twice (v, 1 - 3 and XII, 1 - 2) the sages are represented as interrupting Bhrz'gu's discourse and expressing their desire to be instructed on particular points, and on both occasions Bhrz'gu is again named as the narrator. More over in a number of verses1 Manu is particularly mentioned as the author of certain rules, and II, 7 the authoritative ness of Manu's teaching is emphatically asserted, 'because he was omniscient.' In two other passages Manu appears, however, in different characters. VII, 42 he is enume rated among the kings who gained sovereignty by their humility, and XII, 123 he is identified with the supreme Brahman.
