c14.4
It is rather strange that our records, which invariably refer to Rāṣṭrapati officers, should nowhere mention any specific Rāṣṭra. Specific Viṣayas like Puṇaka viṣaya or Karahāṭaka viṣaya are mentioned, but no specific rāṣṭra is ever referred to. It is, therefore, difficult to determine its extent precisely; but since viṣayas roughly corresponded, as will be presently shown, to modern districts, it is very probable that the rāṣṭra or maṇḍala was about the size of a modern division in charge of a Commissioner.
