[Guest guest]

Smrtih :

 

The Vedas and the Smrtis of Manu etc are but her form. The KUrma Pr.

says, "Rik, Yajus, SAman and Atharvana are the inherent form of

Brahman, thus is the eternal Sakti"

 

Or sruti an smrti, the knowledge in the form of hearing and

recollection. The VAyu Pr. says, "As She recollects all actions,

present, past and future, she is called Smrti". The Devi Pr., "[she is

the Smrti] because she recollects"
