The *Kalpataru*, the *Smriti Chandrikā*, and the *Chaturvarga-chintāmaṇi* are *nibandhas* i.e. digests of different *Smritis* or *Dharmasūtras*. They represent the synthesis attempted at by the compilers and may be placed in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.¹⁵ Such digests are more important from the standpoint of law and politics than mere commentaries on individual *Smritis*.
