Dharmaśāstra (Skt.,
dharma, ‘law’ +
śāstra, ‘teaching’). Any of a class of Sanskrit texts concerned with rules of conduct and law. Dharmaśāstras tend to be longer and more systematically organized than
dharmasūtras, and treat some topics neglected in the dharmasūtras, such as
vratas (religious vows);
utsarga and
pratiṣṭhā (dedication of public utilities, shrines, and temples);
kāla (auspicious times); and
tīrtha (pilgrimages to sacred places).
Of the more than 2,000 surviving dharmaśāstras, the most influential is certainly the
Manusmṛti or Laws of Manu (see
DHARMA). The
Yājñavalkyasmṛti has had an indirect influence upon modern Indian law
via the commentary of Vijñāneśvara.
