He is to assign to Superintendents of different grades, high, middle, and inferior, works suitable to their qualifications. The Commentator instances Superintendents of Works of three grades concerning (1) Treasury (2) Granary and Armoury and (3) Wines and Meats. For these bodies of officers (*Sāmudāyikeshu*), persons of special fitness are to be appointed, who can be punished without causing any remorse to the king. This rules out officers 'who are Brahmins or friends or intimate relations of the king.'
