The work of Nārada, Brihaspati and Kātyāyana as *Smriti* writers of the later Gupta period was continued during the seventh and eighth centuries by quite a number of jurists. Without being precise or even approximative we may mention the following :—1. Vyāsa (c 650), 2. Paulastya (c 700), 3. Pitāmaha (c 750), 4. Dakṣa (c 800), 5. Angiras (c 800), 6. Yama (c 800). They all wrote regular *Dharmaśāstras* in verse in the literary tradition established by Manu and Yājnavalkya.
