Synopsis

The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. The Sacred Laws of the Aryas, Part 1 (1879), translated by Georg Bühler, is volume II of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book is in two parts and focuses on Hinduism. Part 1, also known as Dharmaśāstra, includes Âpastamba's aphorisms and Gautama's institutes of the sacred law. This text is for readers interested in deepening their understanding of Hinduism.
