	Yajnavalkya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Yajnavalkya worshipped and extolled the Sun, the master of the Vedas, for the purpose of acquiring the fresh Vedic portions not known to his preceptor, Vaishampayana.
		Yajnavalkya replied that there was no hope of immortality through wealth and that she would only become one among the many who were well-to-do on earth.
		Then Yajnavalkya elaborately described to her the sole greatness of the Absolute Self, the nature of Its existence, the way of attaining infinite knowledge and immortality, etc. This immortal conversation between Yajnavalkya and Maitreyi is recorded in the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad.

	Gargi
		One of the implications of Yajnavalkya’s statement, is that instead of conceding defeat in the debate, he was trying to dissuade Gargi from going into the construction of the belief system itself.
		Self-castration is also suggested as Yajnavalkya practices that which is antithetical to spiritual learning, a rigid hierarchy with brahmins at the top, at the expense of the spiritually oppressed and dispossessed.
		She is told by Yajnavalkya, "if you ask too many questions, your head will burst!" We can take Yajnavalkya to mean that Gargi may go insane from her own questioning; however, we must also consider the social and psychological oppression she faces as a woman in a gendered society.

		In their quest for some ultimate ground for the world of natural phenomena, of time and space, and of human existence, the Upanishadic sages came to the conception of brahman, an undefinable, impersonal, unknowable power (brahman is not the same as Brahman, the priestly class).

		The Dharmashastras (law books) are considered by many to form part of the smrti.

		However, it must be noted that the Dharmashastras have long been discarded by many groups of Hindus, namely those following Vedanta, Bhakti, Yoga and Tantra streams of Hinduism.
