In Hinduism
Dharmashastra (religious law)
Source: Sacred Texts: The Grihya Sutras, Part 2 (SBE30)Taddharma (तद्धर्म) refers to “having the same qualities”, according to the Āpastamba-yajña-paribhāṣā-sūtras.—“If what is prescribed is absent, a substitute [viz., Pratinidhi] is to be taken according to similarity. [...] The substitute should take the nature of that for which it is substituted”. Commentary: Taddharma refers to “having the same qualities”. If, for instance, nīvāra has been substituted for vrīhi, it should be treated as if it were vrīhi. The name vrīhi should remain, and should not be replaced by nīvāra, just as Soma, if replaced by pūtikā, is still called Soma.
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.
