''Hindu Law and Judicature from the Dharma-Sástra of Yájnavalkya,'' published in 1859, is an English translation of an ancient Indian legal text by Yájnavalkya, co-authored by Edward Röer and W. A. Montriou. This scholarly work explores the principles of Hindu law as outlined in the Dharma-Sástra, examining its implications within the caste system and societal norms. The authors provide a comprehensive introduction and explanatory notes, emphasizing the historical context and significance of Yájnavalkya's jurisprudence as a foundational legal authority in Hinduism.
