That the demands for anugrahas were mostly of economic character, is shown by the direction of Kauṭilya:³ that only those anugrahas and parihāras (fiscal concessions) should be granted which would lead to the strength of the Exchequer and those which weaken it were to be avoided for 'with a small treasury the king oppresses the Paura-Jānapadas.'
