In Hinduism
Dharmashastra (religious law)
Source: Wisdom Library: Dharma-śāstraVivāda (विवाद) refers to “substantive law”. The more common technical term is Vyavahārapada (“adjective law”).
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.
In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraVivāda (विवाद) refers to the “quarrels”, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 2).—Accordingly, “[Question.—Why do Buddhist sūtras begin with the word evam, ‘thus’?]—[...] Furthermore, to say: ‘My doctrine is true (satya), the other doctrines are deceptive (mṛṣāvāda); my doctrine is absolute (parama), the others are wrong (abhūta)’: such is the origin of quarrels (vivāda-mūla). Here the term Evam designates a doctrine free of quarreling: listening to the words of others, it declares: ‘This man is not wrong’. That is why the Buddhist sūtras begin with Evam”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.
