Kamandaka’s Nitisara, also known as Kamandakiya Nitisara, is an ancient Indian treatise on statecraft and political science. It is considered to be based on Kautilya’s Arthashastra and deals with the principles of governance, diplomacy, and the conduct of kings and rulers. The term ‘Niti’ itself refers to policy, conduct, or ethics in a political and social context, making ‘political morality’ or statecraft the most appropriate category.

Nitisara is a classical text on ancient Indian statecraft and political thought, influenced by Arthashastra.

The Nitisara was likely composed between the 4th and 6th centuries CE. It was an important text for rulers and administrators in ancient India, providing guidance on maintaining order, ensuring prosperity, and conducting foreign relations.
