It has therefore to be taken as वृद्धिसंपादनम् (काम्रे विभु ). \*Pālana\* has the sense of growth, not mere maintenance. This is borne out by the description of \*Daṇḍa-nīti\* given by Kauṭilya (I. 4. p. 9) : दण्डनीतिः अलब्धलाभार्थी, लब्धपरिरक्षणी, रक्षितविवर्धनी, etc; and also by "अप्राप्तलाभी लब्धपरिपालनं प्रतिपालितवर्धनं चेत्यर्थानुबन्धः।" Nītivākyāmṛita, II. - [Previous: c7.14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c7.14) - [Next: c7.16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c7.16) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c7) ## Cites (1) - [Nītivākyāmṛta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.artha.nitivakyamrta) — Somadevasūri, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c7.15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c7.15) · Pramāṇa
