The army had its own commissariat office. A number of merchants were engaged by this office for the purpose of meeting the needs of the army when on march. One such merchant contractor figures in inscription No. 177 of the Madras Epigraphical Report for the year 1912. This document records a charitable gift of Narasingayan, a merchant from Mānyakheta who had accompanied the camp of Kṛṣṇa III during the southern campaigns of that emperor.
