In Hinduism
Dharmashastra (religious law)
: The Scientific Journal Guillermo de Ockham: Dharmaśāstra vis-à-vis ѴǰṣaśٰѴǰṣaśٰ (मोक्षशास्त्र) referst to the “science of freedom�.—The principal philosophical systems of India are divided into two branches: پ첹 and nپ첹. Āstika means Veda-abiding and nپ첹, non-Veda-abiding. This is an instance of the intrusion of Dharmaśāstra into Ѵǰṣaśٰ: the rules of religious law operating on what was claimed to be the science of freedom (mokṣa/mukti). Thus, religious law had its position asserted and the materialists along with the Jains and the Buddhists were declared to be outside the Vedic fold.

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.
