In Hinduism
Dharmashastra (religious law)
Source: Google Books: Development of Domestic Rites, Satyasadha SchoolHiraṇyakeśin (हिरण्यकेशिन्) is the author of a Gṛhyasūtra of the Kṛṣṇa-Yajurveda.—The domestic rituals are described in the texts called Gṛhyasūtras. There are numerous branches of the Veda which is often metaphorically described as a tree. Satyāṣāḍha or Hiraṇyakeśin is a sub-branch of the Black Yajurveda. The Śrautasūtra of this branch is ascribed to Satyāṣāḍha and the Gṛhyasūtra is ascribed to Hiraṇyakeśin. The Black Yajurveda is prevalent in the Southern India while White Yajurveda is prevalent mainly in the Northern India. Among the various sub-branches of the Black Yajurveda, Satyāṣāḍha or Hiraṇyakeśin sub-branch is limited mainly to the Maharashtra. At present this sub-branch is comparatively less studied (than Āpastamba which is more popular in Andhra). So this school is rather neglected one.
Dharmashastra (धर्मशास्त्र, 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.
