⁴ **सङ्घलाभो दण्डमित्रालाभानामुत्तमः। सङ्घाभिसंहतत्वादधृष्यान् परेषाम् ताननुगुणान् भुञ्जीत सामदानाभ्याम्। द्विवुणान् (read विगुणान्) भेददण्डाभ्याम्।** Artha-Śāstra, p. 376. **अनुगुणान्** will be opposed to **द्विगुणान्**; **द्विगुण** gives no satisfactory meaning. It can give the meaning 'league of two;' but they will be *Anuguṇas*. Hence I have proposed the above correction. The further use of **विगुण** in the same chapter, *e.g.*, at p. 379 and the total absence of **द्विगुण** in the discussion support my proposal. Mr. Shama Shastry's rendering of **अनुगुणान्** as those 'favourably disposed' is far wide off the mark, AS., (Ch. XI.)
