Ancient Indian Laws are all very religious. The same holds good of the Law of Manu which I deal with here. In this Law, one who indulges in anti-social behavior must be punished, but on the other hand, he must be purified by himself in practicing the penance ordered by the law. Because an anti-social behavior is considered sinful from the point of view of religion and at the same time it is composed of criminal offence. These two are not considered separately at this time.
There are two sorts of sins and crimes. One is a great sin or crime, and the other is a secondary sin or crime. I examined purifications and punishments for those sins and crimes.
