v2.c14.t6.96

The Javanese Law-books do not contain anything about administrative law such as we have in Chapter VII of Manu-Saṃhitā. Consequently the system of administration in Java is but little known. There are three old-Javanese prose texts on the political theory and public administration, but their value as a practical guide to this subject is difficult to determine. We may begin with a brief reference to them.
