In Hinduism
Dharmashastra (religious law)
: Shodhganga: Devalasmrti reconstruction and critical study¶Ù±ð±¹²¹±ô²¹²õ³¾á¹›t¾± (देवलसà¥à¤®à¥ƒà¤¤à¤¿) is the name of a lost work dealing with DharmaÅ›Ästra authored by Devala—one of the most famous personalities in the ancient Sanskrit literature renowned as a Vedic Seer and a highly celebrated sage.—Unfortunately, the genuine original and complete work on DharmaÅ›Ästra of such a great Smá¹›tikÄra, has become extinct, in the course of time. There is a metrical Smá¹›ti ascribed to Devala, in the printed collections of ²õ³¾á¹›t¾±²õ. It contains merely ninety verses that treat the subject of purification of persons, associated with Mlecchas. P. V. Kane remarks, “This appears to be a late compilationâ€�. Hence it is evident that it is a fragmentary and a later work, ascribed to Devala.

Dharmashastra (धरà¥à¤®à¤¶à¤¾à¤¸à¥à¤¤à¥à¤�, dharmaÅ›Ästra) 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.
