Smriti denotes the body of Hindu texts, remembered and written rather than orally revealed, that are rooted in or inspired by the Vedas and traditionally attributed to named human authors. Because they carry named authorship and are transmitted in manuscript form, they are distinguished within Hindu tradition from shruti, the revealed Vedic literature with no named author, and generally hold secondary authority to shruti in most orthodox schools of Hindu philosophy, though the Mimamsa school is a notable exception. Smriti texts, including the dharmashastra literature, form the traditional textual basis for much of Hindu personal and religious law.

The enum fact itself stays on the entity unchanged.
