The Laws of Manu: Or The Manusmrti Illustrated Edition

I like this text because it is the thing itself, no explanations, no filter, no Western padding. It is just a direct translation of the laws. This means it lacks footnotes, index, even table of contents. The laws are not hard to understand. What significance they have is up to you to judge. You can read Nietzsche's Twilight of the Idols for one reading. Or use Google.
