Starting with the bringing up and education of the young prince, it proceeds to the appintment of ministers and the organisation and functioning of various state departments, including the setting up of a secret service. It then sets forth a code of civil and criminal law.

Part III is a study of the text and deals with all problems that are likely to arise in connection with its study, such as the origin of the Arthasastr ...
