shastra
This term carries a high degree of formality and spiritual weight, specifically within the context of Indian philosophy and classical arts. It denotes more than a simple book; it implies a source of absolute authority and timeless truth. When used in academic or religious discourse, it suggests a rigorous, codified system of knowledge rather than a casual guide.
Because it refers to specific, titled treatises (such as the Yoga Shastra or Natya Shastra), it is typically treated as a countable noun when referring to different texts, though it can function as an uncountable concept when discussing the general body of scriptural knowledge.
Meanings
A sacred scripture or a treatise on a specific subject, particularly within the Hindu tradition, providing authoritative guidance on law, philosophy, or ritual.
A traditional Indian textbook or manual of instruction concerning a particular science, art, or discipline.
