Do shAstrAs really have strict rules?

Dear Members,

 

It is well know that smritis such as manu smriti, yajnavalkya smriti

and so on dictate strict rules for veda-pArAyanam such as shruthi is

not be recited by non-dvijAs and so on.

 

I have one observation here. The Smritis which dictate the rules are

not entirely based on the shruthi but are individualistic

interpretations by hierophants in the tradition.

 

The shruthi does not PRE-SUPPOSE the rules dictated by the smriti,

rather it is the other way round.

 

Any opinions in this matter?

 

Regards,
