The Manu Smriti (also known as the Manu Samhita) is an ancient Indian text that outlines the laws and duties governing human behavior, society, and the universe. An English translation of the Manu Smriti provides a modern interpretation of the original Sanskrit text, which is attributed to the sage Manu. It is considered one of the most important texts in Hindu dharma, offering guidelines on social conduct, caste duties (varna), marriage, ethics, and justice. The translation often clarifies the complex verses and terminology, making the text accessible to a broader audience, while preserving its historical and cultural significance.

Manmatha Nath Dutta was born in 1855 and died in 1912. He was a Bengali writer, scholar of Sanskrit and Pali, served as rector in educational institutions (Keshab Academy and Serampore College), described as India's most prolific translator of Hindu epics and scriptures. Later known as Manmatha Nath Shastri after getting that degree. It would be a mistake to conclude that his translation work was limited to ancient Sanskrit texts of Vedic and Puranic origin. In fact, Datta to his credit also authored atranslation of Mahanirvan Tantra and a book on Buddha's life, his teachings and his order, which he says in the preface is based on all extant works in Sanskrit and Pali.
