FUNCTIONS OF GOVERNMENT—The successful working of government in a monarchy depends on the qualities and personal character of the king and his ministers. Training of the king in disciplined life was termed Vainayika (V.4.34). This is exactly the term used by Kauṭilya who deals with the training of princes in the chapter called *Vinayādhikārika*. He considers *Vinaya* as the foundation of successful governance.
