Mar 28 at 14:58 comment added Buttermasala Manu is being referred in third person because it is the student of his who is speaking on behalf of Manu, but like other smritis Manu smriti has interpolations some part are not written by Manu himself. @R. Kaushik
Jan 15, 2022 at 5:22 comment added R. Kaushik And as per current Manusmriti caste law many authors of sacred scriptures are totally debarred from sacred thread and ceremonies. We also know that Manu's children, grandchildren etc. repeatedly changed varna so definitely Manusmriti is not Manu's work.
Jan 15, 2022 at 5:16 comment added R. Kaushik Current Manusmriti is definitely not written by Manu. Everyone knows that Manu is referred to in third person.
