Autoren-Porträt von Yájnavalkya
Yájnavalkya, an ancient Indian sage and philosopher, is best known for his contributions to the Dharmasastra literature, particularly through his seminal work 'Yajnavalkya Smriti.' His texts play a pivotal role in understanding the classical Hindu legal system. Yájnavalkya lived during the early classical period of Hinduism, possibly around the 8th to 7th centuries BCE. Renowned for his scholarly wisdom, Yájnavalkya's writings cover a wide spectrum of topics, including jurisprudence, marriage, inheritance, and ethical conduct. 'Hindu Law and Judicature from the Dharma-Sástra of Yájnavalkya' is a profound exposition of civil and criminal law integrated with moral philosophy. The text outlines a stratified justice system reflecting the varna (caste) divisions of ancient Indian society, though its focus is not solely on legal mechanics but also on the ethical and moral foundation of law. Yájnavalkya's legal philosophy underscores the principle of Dharma, or righteous living, as a cornerstone of both personal conduct and statecraft. His discourse on law is characterized by a rational and logical approach, departing from a purely theological basis to one that incorporates reason and fairness. The Yajnavalkya Smriti has been subject to extensive commentaries and remains a subject of study and reverence in the realms of Indology and comparative law, highlighting the author's lasting literary and philosophical footprint.
