3. See Harmut Scharfe, *Die Staatsrechtslehre des Kauṭalya* (Wiesbaden, 1968), 138ff. Scharfe illustrates both meanings, land as well as people, separately. For the undifferentiated unity of land and people, cf. O. Brunner, *Land und Herrschaft* (Darmstadt, 1970), 234f. The undifferentiated people-cum-territory is discussed by Louis Dumont, "Nationalism and Communalism," *Contributions to Indian Sociology* 7 (1964): 30–70, esp. 60ff. For the rise of the clearly defined and compact territory as the basis of national unity, see J. R. Talmon, *The Origins of Totalitarian Democracy*, reprint ed. (London, 1906), 109f.; and J. C. Heesterman, "Two Types of Boundaries," *Felicitation Volume for S. N. Eisenstadt*, ed. E. Cohen (forthcoming).
