The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization.

This volume focuses on Hinduism and on one of its principal deities. The text includes a collection of precepts regarding the sacred laws of India, and is for readers interested in deepening their understanding of Hinduism.
