  This is a translation of a 12th century Sanskrit legal text, with the original text. The Dayabhaga was one of the most important texts in the history of Indian law. It is important because the British elevated it to prominence in their new colony in the early 19th century. This new translation makes this text available to those without Sanskrit.
