Summary
When it was discovered around 1905, the Arthaśāstra (AŚ) was described as perhaps the most precious work in the whole range of Sanskrit literature, an assessment that still rings true. This translation of this significant text takes into account a number of important advances in our knowledge of the texts, inscriptions, and archeological and art historical remains from the period in Indian history to which the AŚ belongs.
