CONTENTS
DESCRIPTION
The extant Parasarasmrti is divided into twelve chapters and contains according to the last verse only 592 verses. It deals only with Acara and Prayascitta. Madhava has introduced this voluminous gloss on Vyavahara, which forms about a fourth of his extensive gloss, in an indirect way by regarding Vyavahara as a part of the duties of kshatriyas on which the Parasarasmrti has something to say.
The original smirti of Parasara contains no verses on Vyavahara but Madhavacharya hangs on this slender peg of a single verse pf Parasara calling upon the King to rule his subjects with justice. The Parasara Madhyaviya is a work of authority on moderns Hindu law in Southern India.
