MANUSMṚTI   A code of conduct written by Manu alias Mānavācārya who was the father of man-kind for the harmonious existence of a social life. The book contains twelve chapters. The first chapter deals with the origin of the Smṛti and the origin of the world. No other Smṛti begins like this and so it is believed that this chapter must have been added to it later. The contents of each of the other eleven chapters are given below: Second chapter. It deals with the sense organs and stresses the importance of conquering and controlling them. It describes the qualities of a brahmin. Third chapter. It contains the duties of a householder after his course of study of the Vedas. Eight different kinds of marriages are described in it.

Ninth chapter. It deals with the duties of a husband and wife. It also contains matters relating to property rights, partition and the duties of a King with regard to these. Tenth chapter.
