5.3.3

ṛtvigācāryamantripurohitasenāpatiyuvarāja.rājamātṛrājamahiṣyo 'ṣṭacatvāriṃśatsāhasrāḥ //

The sacrificial priest (ritvig), the teacher, the minister, the priest (purohita), the commander of the army, the heir-apparent prince, the mother of the king, and the queen shall (each receive) 48,000 (panas per annum). With this amount of subsistence, they will scarcely yield themselves to temptation and hardly be discontented.

R. Shamasastry 1915, Kautilya's Arthaśāstra
