Topic: Manava


In the News (Fri 27 Nov 09)

  
  Manava (print-only)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Manava was the author of one of the Sulbasutras.
Manava would have not have been a mathematician in the sense that we would understand it today.
Manava's Sulbasutra, like all the Sulbasutras, contained approximate constructions of circles from rectangles, and squares from circles, which can be thought of as giving approximate values of π.

 MacGregor: Itu'muta
Manava stayed and was given land now known as Itu'muta (the piece cut from Itu'ti'u).
This Manava is supposed to have married a woman in Savlei and become great friends with the chief of Itu'ti'u, Fär.
He made Manava an important man of Itu'ti'u, and Manava asked him for the far end of the island of Rotuma, which was all part of Itu'ti'u.

 Manava - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Manava Sulbasutra is not the oldest (the one by Baudhayana is older), nor is it one of the most important, there being at least three Sulbasutras which are considered more important.
Undoubtedly he wrote the Sulbasutra to provide rules for religious rites and it would appear an almost certainty that Manava himself would be a Vedic priest.
The paper [1] is concerned with an interpretation of verses 11.14 and 11.15 of Manava's work which give π = 25/8 = 3.125.

 Sathya Sai Baba - Prema Vahini - Manava and Danava - the Differences in Character - Page 39   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Danavas are those who trample on Love and consider inferior qualities as important, while Manavas are those who consider those inferior qualities as snakes to be destroyed and Love alone as the quality to be fostered.
The Manavas engage themselves in the soft and sweet deeds of kindness, rightness, love and truth and they are witnesses to the possibility of realising and manifesting one's immortality.
Their good nature is resplendent on their faces as Anand; but without that goodness, even if he is infatuated with joy his face will indicate only the destructive fire of the Danava; it will not have the Grace of Ananda.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Laws of Manu
In course of time, some of the more ancient and popular "Dharma-sutras" were enlarged in their scope and thrown into metrical form constituting the so-called "Dharma-sastras".
Of these the most ancient and most famous is the "Laws of Manu", the "Manava Dharma-sastra", so called as scholars think, because based on a "Dharma-sutra" of the ancient Manava school.
The association of the original sutra with the name Manava seems to have suggested the myth that Manu was its author, and this myth, incorporated in the metrical "Dharma-sastra", probably availed to secure the new work universal acceptance as a divinely revealed book.

 Cover Story
The beauty of this verse is that even after 14 centuries, this yardstick is still perfectly relevant and helps us to understand the anatomy and pathology of our society.
"There are satpurushas or noble souls who sacrifice their own self-interest to work for the welfare of other people; the samanyas who form the majority who work for the welfare of the others without sacrificing their own self interest; the manava rakshasa who destroy other peoples’ welfare for their own self-interest.
But what am I to say about those who sacrifice others’ welfare without gaining any good for themselves?"
