Hardcover. Zustand: New. In The Mauryan Polity the author has examined the extent and character of the Mauryan Empire, its central administration, and local and provincial governments, and concludes with a chapter on religion in the Mauryan State. He also has shown the similarity in the inscriptions in Asoka s edicts and Kautiliyan polity by comparing the two. By way of new interpretations suggested for different terms and passages of the edicts, the author holds that one can reconstruct the political history of Asoka and his predecessors, and based on such reconstruction, he has attempted to establish the character of the government of that era. The work is an amplification of five lectures delivered by the author at the University of Madras in 1929-30. The volume is based on three main sources: Arthashastra by Kautilya, inscriptions on Asoka s edicts and the surviving fragments of Megasthenes work, Indika. The author has critically examined the authenticity of his three main sources of information and maintains that Kautilya s work and Asoka s edicts are highly reliable; the fragments of Megasthenes work have been used to supplement the primary sources. The author has referred to several other sources such as translations by McCrindle, and Cowell and Thomas, and others; journals and reports including those of the ASI, of the Bombay Historical Society, of the Royal Asiatic Society of both London and Bengal, among numerous others; as well as several works that include those of Buhler, K.V.R. Aiyangar, Vincent Smith, Cunningham, Sir Henry Maine, Rapson and others.…
