The Manusmṛti (Sanskrit: मनुस्मृति ), also spelled as Manusmriti, is an ancient legal text among the many "Dharmaśāstras " of Hinduism.

The election in 1860 for the position of Boden Professor of Sanskrit at the University of Oxford was a hotly contested affair between two rival candidates offering different approaches to Sanskrit scholarship.
 One was Monier Williams, an Oxford-educated Englishman who had spent 14 years teaching Sanskrit to those preparing to work in British India for the East India Company.
 The other, Max Müller, was a German-born lecturer at Oxford specialising in comparative philology, the science of language.
 He had spent many years working on an edition of the "Rig Veda" (an ancient collection of Vedic Sanskrit hymns), and had gained an international reputation for his scholarship.
 Williams, in contrast, worked on later material and had little time for the "continental" school of Sanskrit scholarship that Müller exemplified.
 Williams regarded the study of Sanskrit as a means to an end, namely the conversion of India to Christianity.
 For Müller, his work, while it would assist missionaries, was also valuable as an end in itself.

 Umaswati's work was the first Sanskrit language text on Jain philosophy, and is the earliest extant comprehensive Jain philosophy text accepted as authoritative by all four Jain traditions.
 His text has the same importance in Jainism as "Vedanta Sutras" and "Yogasutras" have in Hinduism.
