In Hinduism
Dharmashastra (religious law)
Source: Shodhganga: Devalasmrti reconstruction and critical studyKaladharma (कलधर्म) 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 prakaraṇas (divisions) [e.g., the deśadharmāḥ kaladharmāśca], of the three main adhyāyas (chapters).
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.
