In Hinduism
Dharmashastra (religious law)
Source: Wisdom Library: Dharma-śāstraⲹ岵 (दायविभाग) refers to “partition�, and is commonly classified as one of the eighteen ⲹ貹岹, or “law titles� in the ancient Dharmaśāstras. These ⲹ貹岹s are categories of ‘legal procedures� and define a major type of crime for which a person may be tried. The term is derived from ⲹ (“lawsuits� or “case�) which defines the case between the plaintiff and the defendant, which is often related to social and commercial transactions.
ⲹ岵 is mentioned in the following sources as one of the eighteen ⲹ貹岹s: the Arthaśāstra (3.16.38). In the Manusmṛti this is known as Vibhāga and in the Nāradasmṛti as Dāyabhāga.
: Shodhganga: Devalasmrti reconstruction and critical studyDayā岵 (दयाविभाग) refers to one of the topics dealt with in the (reconstructed) Devalasmṛti, a lost text dealing with Dharmaśāstra authored by Devala—one of the most famous personalities in the ancient Sanskrit literature renowned as a Vedic Seer and a highly celebrated sage.—The original and complete text of Devalasmṛti, is no longer existing. About 2500 prose and verse quotations, of the reconstructed text were thus collected, from numerous printed and manuscript works on Dharmaśāstra. After minute and repeated study of topics, treated in the collected quotations, they were classified even into the following twenty-two different 첹ṇa (divisions) [e.g., the 岹屹岵�], of the three main ⲹ (chapters).

Dharmashastra (धर्मशास्त्�, 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.
