The is a Hindu text of the Dharmaśāstra tradition. It has been called the "best composed" and "most homogeneous" specimen of this genre.〔Lingat 1973: 98〕 ==Date== The text most likely dates to the Gupta period, between roughly the 3rd and 5th centuries. There is some debate as to whether it is to be placed in the earlier or later part of that time span.〔This debate is mostly between the two scholars, Patrick Olivelle (who argues the text must have been composed during the latter part of this timeframe) and PV Kane (who favors an earlier date).〕 Arguments for particular dating are based on the concise, sophisticated vocabulary found throughout the text and on the use of certain terms such as ' (a coin), and references to Greek astrology (which has been known in India since the 2nd century; see Yavanajataka). The argument arises when considerations are made as to who was exchanging the ' and when the level of Greek thought which the author understood is brought into question.〔Winternitz 1986: 599-600〕 The text became a well-known member of the dharmaśāstra tradition by the last few centuries of the first millennium CE. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yājñavalkya Smṛti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
