Ashvalayana Smriti is a traditional Hindu text associated with Sage Ashvalayana, an important teacher of the Rigvedic tradition. The name Ashvalayana is particularly connected with the Rigveda and the Ashvalayana school of Vedic practice. Literature associated with this tradition provides guidance on rituals, religious duties, ceremonies, and disciplined living.

The Ashvalayana tradition is best known for the Ashvalayana Grihya Sutra and Ashvalayana Shrauta Sutra, which describe domestic and Vedic rituals. These works discuss important ceremonies such as marriage, birth-related rites, initiation, funeral rituals, offerings, and other religious observances. They also show how Vedic teachings were applied to different stages of everyday life.

The broader Ashvalayana tradition gives importance to Dharma, ritual discipline, purity, study of the Vedas, family duties, and proper conduct. It is therefore valuable for understanding the ritual and social traditions connected with ancient Rigvedic culture.

Texts attributed to or associated with Ashvalayana have been transmitted through the Vedic Shakha tradition, and titles should be understood carefully because not every work associated with his name is a separate Smriti text in the same sense as Manu Smriti or Narada Smriti.
