In Hinduism
Dharmashastra (religious law)
Source: Wisdom Library: Dharma-śāstraDāyabhāga (दायभाग) refers to “partition”, and is commonly classified as one of the eighteen vyavahārapada, or “law titles” in the ancient Dharmaśāstras. These vyavahārapadas are categories of ‘legal procedures’ and define a major type of crime for which a person may be tried. The term is derived from vyavahāra (“lawsuits” or “case”) which defines the case between the plaintiff and the defendant, which is often related to social and commercial transactions.
Dāyabhāga is mentioned in the following sources as one of the eighteen vyavahārapadas: the Nāradasmṛti (mātṛkā 1.30). In the Manusmṛti this is known as Vibhāga and in the Arthaśāstra as Dāyavibhāga.
Source: archive.org: Kalaviveka Of Jimutavahana Pramathanatha TarkabhushanaDāyabhāga (दायभाग).—The Dāyabhāga by Jīmūtavahana is a well known work. It has been the basis of the Hindu law of inheritance of the Bengal school for several centuries. Copies of the Dāyabhāga are available all over Bengal and it has gone through several editions since the introduction of printing in India. A study of the Dāyabhāga reveals the fact that it forms part of a complete code of Smṛti by the author, entitled the Dharmaratna. But other parts of this code were absolutely unknown except in quotations. And those engaged in the search of Sanskrit manuscripts tried hard to obtain copies of either whole or part of the Dharmaratna, for several years, in vain. In 1880, however, was discovered, what purported to be, a complete copy of that work without the Dāyabhāga.
Source: Wikipedia: Dharma-shastraDāyabhāga (दायभाग).—The Dāyabhāga is a Hindu law treatise written by Jīmūtavāhana which primarily focuses on inheritance procedure. Based on Jīmūtavāhana’s criticisms of the Mitākṣarā, it is thought that his work is precluded by the Mitākṣarā. This has led many scholars to conclude that the Mitākṣarā represents the orthodox doctrine of Hindu law, while the Dāyabhāga represents the reformed version.
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.
