With over fifty known manuscripts, the Kolkata manuscript with Kulluka Bhatta commentary is the most translated and presumed authentic version.

The text of Manusmriti is written in Sanskrit and is believed to date back to the 2nd century BCE to 3rd century CE. It presents itself as a discourse given by Manu (Svayambhuva) and Bhrigu, covering various topics such as duties, rights, laws, conduct, and virtues. The influence of Manusmriti extends beyond India, with its impact observed in Buddhist law in Myanmar and Thailand, as well as in Hindu kingdoms in Cambodia and Indonesia.
