Parasara was a great Jnani and one of the supreme authorities on astrology, and his book 'Parasara Hora' is still a textbook on astrology. He has also written a Smriti known as Parasara Smriti which is held in such high esteem that it is quoted by our present-day writers on sociology and ethics.

The Smritis are named after them. We have Manu Smriti or Manava Dharma-Sastra (the Laws of Manu or the Institutes of Manu), Yajnavalkya Smriti and Parasara Smriti. Manu is the greatest law-giver of the race. He is the oldest law-giver as well. The Yajnavalkya Smriti is next in importance to it. Difference between Shruti and Smriti. Shruti is "that which has been heard" and is canonical, consisting of revelation and unquestionable truth, and is considered eternal.It refers mainly to the Vedas themselves. Smriti is "that which has been remembered" supplementary and may change over time. The Manusm?ti (Sanskrit: ?????????), also spelled as Manusmriti, is an ancient legal text among the many Dharmasastras of Hinduism. It was one of the first Sanskrit texts to have been translated into English in 1776, by Sir William Jones, and was used to formulate the Hindu law by the British colonial government. nrkSq; idv' y;?Nt SvgSq; mo,m;" uy" 12u a;Tmno v; prSy;ip gy;kApe ytStt" y•;?; p;ty?Tp<@e ? t ' ny ed(b[? x;etm 13(loihto yStu v, en x?v,R R% ur" Sm t"O M.A IN SANSKRIT II - YEAR Paper - VI A.
