The Mauryan Polity c8.s3.1

Language: English

c8.s3.1

The Mauryan state like any other Hindu state had for its aim the realisation of the *trivarga*—the trinity group of Dharma, Artha and Kāma. Of these the author of the *Arthaśāstra* attaches greater importance to the second, namely, Artha or wealth, for on this depended the realisation of Dharma and Kāma.
