		Smriti also denotes non-Shruti texts generally, seen as secondary in authority to Shruti.
		Classifying the Smriti has been a contentious issue, even the names of proposed categories are debated.

	Hindu Scriptures
		The laws of Smritis and the principles of the Vedas are stamped firmly on the minds of the Hindus through the noble and marvelous deeds of their great national heroes.
		The Sruti is the root; the Smritis, Itihasas and Puranas are the trunk; the Agamas and Darsanas are the branches; and the Subhashitas, Kavyas, Natakas and Alankaras are the flowers of the tree of India’s Culture.
		Dharma Sastras or Smritis, are the fourth supplementary Anga of the Vedas.

		Smritis are the secondary scriptures, which derive their authority from the Shruti.
		The Smritis of Manu, Yajnavalkya and Parashara, the Agamas and the treatises on the Darshanas are the other scriptures forming the magnificent edifice of Hinduism built upon the foundation of the Vedas.
		The Smritis are mostly codes of law intended to regulate Hindu society from time to time, according to the principles of the Veda.

	Manu Smriti (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Unlike the Vedas which are considered of divine origin, the Smritis are of human composition which guide individuals in their daily conduct according to time and place.
		They list the codes and rules governing the actions of the individual, the community, society, and the nation.
		It is important to note that laws given by Manu, in Manu Smriti although followed in some form even today, are not considered divine, and may be modified by the society to keep up with the times.

	Encyclopedic Theosophical Glossary, Sis-Som
		Smriti smrti (Sanskrit) [from the verbal root smri to remember] What is remembered; unwritten teachings handed down by word of mouth, distinguished from srutis or teachings handed down in traditional writings.
		The smritis were a system of oral teaching, passing from one generation of recipients to the succeeding generation, as was the case with the Brahmanical books before they were imbodied in manuscript.
		In its widest application, the smritis include the Vedangas, the Sutras, the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the Puranas, the Dharma-sastras, especially the works of Manu, Yajnavalkya, and other inspired lawgivers, and the ethical writing or Niti-sastras; whereas the typical example of the sruti are the Vedas themselves considered as revelations.

		The speciality about the Smritis is that they all have a democratic approach to injunctions, which is why we have so many of them to refer to.
		Smritis derive their sap from the same Vedic source and interpret it to suit contemporary disciplines and traditions in individual and community life.
		Similarly, the Smriti codes were safeguards to individual and community interests to preserve some value systems as practised by the tradition of communities at a given time.

		The ceremonies described in XC are not mentioned in other Smritis, while some of them are decidedly Vishnuitic, or traceable in modern works; and as all the Sûtras in XC hang closely together, this entire chapter seems also to be spurious.
