c6.5000

*Rajjuka* (IE 8-3; HD), Prakrit *Rajuka* or *Lajūka* (EI 2); an officer of the land survey and revenue department, according to some; but seems to be the governor of a district, one of whose functions was probably the survey of land with a measuring rope for the fixation of the amount of the king’s share of the produce; probably the same as Greek *Agronomoi* mentioned by Megasthenes.
