Source: Sacred Texts: The Grihya Sutras, Part 2 (SBE30)Haviṣkṛt (हविष्कृत्) refers to an “invocation when the havis is made”, as mentioned in the Āpastamba-yajña-paribhāṣā-sūtras.—“repetition takes place in the case of the Haviṣkṛt, Adhrigu, Puronuvākyā, and Manotā hymns, (because they have to be used) at different times”. Commentary: “haviṣkṛt-adhrigu-puronuvākyā-manotam” is to be taken as a Dvandva compound. [...] The Haviṣkṛt hymn is an invocation when the havis is made. [...] These hymns are to be repeated, if the act which they accompany has to be repeated after a certain interval.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
