c6.s1.30

Failure to help liberally a student, collecting money to pay his teacher's honorarium was regarded as the greatest slur on a king's reputation.¹ Further indirect help to the cause of education was given by the state by exempting students and learned but poor Brahmanas from taxation.² The treasure trove laws were so framed as to help the cause of learning.³ The law of limitation was relaxed in favour of the student engaged in prosecuting studies at a college (Gurukula).⁴
