Kamandakiya Nitisara is an important ancient Indian work on politics, governance, diplomacy, leadership, and statecraft. It is traditionally attributed to Kamandaka, a scholar who drew upon earlier Indian political thought, especially the tradition associated with Chanakya and the Arthashastra.

The text explains how a king or leader should manage a kingdom, protect the people, maintain order, and make wise decisions. It discusses important subjects such as diplomacy, alliances, war, peace, ministers, administration, leadership, intelligence, and relations with other kingdoms.
