In Hinduism
Dharmashastra (religious law)
Source: Wisdom Library: Dharma-śāstraⲹ岵 (दायभाग) refers to “partition�, and is commonly classified as one of the eighteen ⲹ貹岹, or “law titles� in the ancient Dharmaśāstras. These ⲹ貹岹s are categories of ‘legal procedures� and define a major type of crime for which a person may be tried. The term is derived from ⲹ (“lawsuits� or “case�) which defines the case between the plaintiff and the defendant, which is often related to social and commercial transactions.
ⲹ岵 is mentioned in the following sources as one of the eighteen ⲹ貹岹s: the Nāradasmṛti (ṛk 1.30). In the Manusmṛti this is known as Vi岵 and in the Arthaśāstra as Dāyavi岵.
: archive.org: Kalaviveka Of Jimutavahana Pramathanatha Tarkabhushanaⲹ岵 (दायभाग).—The ⲹ岵 by Jīmūtavahana is a well known work. It has been the basis of the Hindu law of inheritance of the Bengal school for several centuries. Copies of the ⲹ岵 are available all over Bengal and it has gone through several editions since the introduction of printing in India. A study of the ⲹ岵 reveals the fact that it forms part of a complete code of Smṛti by the author, entitled the Dharmaratna. But other parts of this code were absolutely unknown except in quotations. And those engaged in the search of Sanskrit manuscripts tried hard to obtain copies of either whole or part of the Dharmaratna, for several years, in vain. In 1880, however, was discovered, what purported to be, a complete copy of that work without the ⲹ岵.
: Wikipedia: Dharma-shastraⲹ岵 (दायभाग).—The ⲹ岵 is a Hindu law treatise written by Jīmūtavāhana which primarily focuses on inheritance procedure. Based on Jīmūtavāhana’s criticisms of the Mitākṣarā, it is thought that his work is precluded by the Mitākṣarā. This has led many scholars to conclude that the Mitākṣarā represents the orthodox doctrine of Hindu law, while the ⲹ岵 represents the reformed version.

Dharmashastra (धर्मशास्त्�, dharmaśāstra) contains the instructions (shastra) regarding religious conduct of livelihood (dharma), ceremonies, jurisprudence (study of law) and more. It is categorized as smriti, an important and authoritative selection of books dealing with the Hindu lifestyle.
