smriti

Hindu scriptures regarded as ‘those that can be remembered’. Smriti are only memories of what God has said, not direct transmissions. They are not believed to be as accurate as sruti, which are ‘heard’ directly from God. Smriti include epic stories such as the Mahābhārata, the Bhagavad-Gītā, and the Rāmāyana. Also included are the laws of Manu (founder of the human race) and the Purana.
