Dharmashastra (religious law)
Śrāddhavidhi (श्राद्धविधि) refers to the rules regarding śrāddha (the ritual of sacrificing material to the Pitṛs) according to the Dharmaśāstra taught in the 10th century Saurapurāṇa: one of the various Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—Chapter nineteen of the Saurapurāṇa describes the śrāddha-vidhi. It is stated that śrāddha should be performed particularly in the sacred places on the new-moon day, two aṣṭakā days (eighth tithi of both fortnights), on viṣuva day and when the sun and the moon are in opposite course. Food offering is to be given to the Brāhmaṇas conversed in the Vedas and the Vedāṅgas, especially those who are the devotees of Śiva.
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.
