The lexicographer Amara Simha (II, 8, 17) also refers to seven Rājyāngāni or members of the state. In Kautalya as in his follower, Kāmandaka (VIII, 4, 20, 25), the term, prakṛiti, denotes not merely the elements proper of a state but also enemies. Chs. III and IV, Book V, of the Arthaśāstra give minute directions on the planning and construction of forts and buildings within.
