Part one provides a concise overview of the literary genres in which Dharmasastra was written with attention to chronology and historical developments. This study divides the tradition into its two major historical periods -- the origins and formation of the classical texts and the later genres of commentary and digest -- in order to provide a thorough, but manageable overview of the textual bases of the tradition. Part two presents descriptive and historical studies of all the major substantive topics of Dharmasastra."--Publisher's description UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xBFKfXZmZS53sTesbEBwJjpKxX8OwPC4/view?usp=sharing ER -
