Solution:

The Manusm?iti (or “Laws of Manu”, Sanskrit Manusm?iti, also known as Manava-Dharmasastra ) is the most important and earliest metrical work of the Dharmasastra textual tradition of Hinduism.

The text presents itself as a discourse given by Manu, the progenitor of mankind, to a group of seers, or rishis, who beseech him to tell them the “law of all the social classes” . Manu became the standard point of reference for all future Dharmasastras that followed it. According to Hindu tradition, the Manu smriti records the words of Brahma.
