We have given above & more or less detailed account of the contents of the Prabandhachintamanz because it is an important work on the history of Gujarata. Mr. Forbes and Dr. Bhagvanlal have made much use of this work while yriting the history of Gujarata in the Rās Māla and the Bombay Gazetter respectively. The Prabandham chintamani is translated into several languages.
The Vicharasrengi3 is another important work of Merutnngasūri. It gives useful dates and contains short notes on Kalakacharya, Haribhadra and Jinabhadra. Some believe that this Merutunga is not the author of the Prabandhachintamani.
