Smriti-Names
(1) Smriti means memory
(2) Another name of
Dharm Shaastra. The part of scripture which is
"remembered" as against "Shruti" which is heard or revealed. The term is
applied to the works that deal with law and code of ethics. There are
about 20 Smriti in existence written between 300 BC and 1200 AD. The
most famous of them are "Manu Smriti" and "Yaagyavalkya Smriti". They
contain instructions on character, conduct, charity, inheritance,
business, Government, and religion.

The Manu
Smriti was the Smriti for the Sat Yug, the Gautam Smriti was for the
Tretaa Yug. Of course the Smriti like Yaagyavalkya were there to
supplement in the areas not covered by the main Smriti - Manu Smriti and
Gautam Smriti. In the same way there is a different Smriti for the
Dwaapar Yug and the Kali Yug. Thus it is not at all proper to criticize
why a certain custom was not followed in the Satya Yug if that
particular custom came into vogue in one of the later Yug. The different
revelations came at different times in keeping with the evolution.
