In Hinduism
Dharmashastra (religious law)
Source: Sacred Texts: The Grihya Sutras, Part 2 (SBE30)Sampreṣa (सम्प्रेष) refers to a “command” used in the Yajurveda, according to the Āpastamba-yajña-paribhāṣā-sūtras.—“with the Yajur-veda the performance takes place by murmuring (upāṃśu). With the exception of addresses, replies, choosing of priests, dialogues, and commands (sampreṣa)”.
As all these are meant to be understood by others, they have therefore to be pronounced in a loud voice. [...] A command (sampreṣa) is “prokṣaṇīr āsādaya”.
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.
