A thorough-going account of the political and economical relations, as they ruled in Buddha's time in North-East India, I hope to be able to give at a later time on a broader basis by drawing upon the whole Pali canon, but I do not think of dealing with this problem before I have made myself clear on a question without a solution of which a complete understanding of the life of ancient India is unthinkable. - [Previous: c4.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.fick-1897.c4.6) - [Next: c4.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.fick-1897.c4.8) - [Up: c4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.fick-1897.c4) ## Linked texts (1) - [Jātaka](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.jataka) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.fick-1897.c4.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.fick-1897.c4.7) · Pramāṇa
