The Yuktikalpataru, ascribed to King Bhoja, was probably composed in the eleventh or twelfth century.¹ The Nītimayūkha is a portion of Nīlakantha’s Bhāskara, compiled in the seventeenth century. Nothing is known about the authorship or the probable date of the Nītiprakāsikā, attributed to Vaisampāyana, but the detailed description which it gives of the weapons used in warfare shows that it is a recent work.² Abul Fazl, in his Ayeen-i-Akbery (written in the sixteenth century) gives a short summary of Hindu polity (Rajneet) and law (Beyhar) which is very interesting.
