But let it pass! let wrongs die with the wronged! The red man's memory is full of graves. But wrongs live with the living, who are here— Inheritors of all our fathers' sighs, And tears, and garments wringing wet with blood. The injuries which ...

The counterpart of S'ruti is "smriti," i.e. recollection, tradition. This embraces the Sutras or works dealing with ceremonial in the way of short rules gathered from the older literature, ...
