The most prominent works of the eighteenth century are Ratnākara's Jayasiṃhakalpadruma¹ of 1713, so named in honour of King Jayasiṃha of Mathurā; the South Indian work Vyavahāramālā² on judicial proceedings and forensic law, which is only partly written in Sanskrit and is very much in use in Malabar; the Vratarāja or Vrataprakāśa by Viśvanātha on fasts and other Vratas³, composed at Benares in 1736; the sketch of the law of inheritance—the Dāyakramasaṃgraha by Śrīkṛṣṇa Tarkālaṃkāra of the beginning of the 18. century⁴, which has been published in Calcutta and translated by Wynch; the juridical work Vivādārṇavabhañjana, the result of the collaboration of 12 Pandits from different parts of India (nānādeśanivāsin), which, on account of the reference to Śrīkṛṣṇa Tarkālaṃkāra, can at the earliest be dated in the middle of the last (eighteenth) century, etc.⁵.
