Vīramitrodaya

The Vīramitrodaya is a commentary on Yajnavalkya Smriti and a Hindu law digest written by Mitramiśra which covers nearly every aspect of Dharmaśāstra. The text also includes Vyavahāra as well, as the name would suggest. The work was done at the behest of Vīrasimha, the king of Orchha, from 1605-1627. The privy Council in the Benares School of Hindu Law considered the text to be a work of high authority. Mitamiśra's text includes hundreds of citations in which he analyzes and critiques numerous arguments, particularly those made by members of the Bengal school.
