'\*Not in any other way\*' is \[laid down\] as there is want of master-ship in land. 'Living beings' are those having life; 'habitation thereof' is habitation of the land'; \*master-ship\* that is mastership of the king. Hence he can only receive one sixth from their acts" - [Previous: c47.58](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c47.58) - [Next: c47.60](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c47.60) - [Up: c47](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c47) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c47.59](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c47.59) · Pramāṇa
