Smritis

Hindu traditional texts

Smritis is a variant capitalization of smritis, referring to the body of traditional Hindu texts transmitted through human authorship rather than divine revelation.

The term encompasses legal, ethical, and narrative literature that interprets and applies Vedic principles to daily life. (Lowercase smritis is more common.)
