The Mānava-Dharmaśāstra (“Manu� for short) occupies a pivotal position in the long history of Dharmaśāstric textual production. Dharmaśāstras produced before Manu, in the last three centuries BCE, consisted of prose texts written in the sutra style with interspersed verses. Manu is the first to be written entirely in verse, a style that is followed by all later authors. Manu is also the first to integrate completely the Arthaśāstric material dealing with the duties of the king, warfare and foreign policy, and law and jurisprudence.

Manu was also considered within the native tradition itself as the most authoritative text on dharma. Its preeminent position was clearly established by the 5th century CE and possibly as early as the 3rd. Sometime toward the middle of the first millennium, Bṛhaspati, one of Manu’s successors and himself a composer of a Dharmaśāstra, pays Manu the ultimate compliment:
