琚� 667 The king took it as his resposibility to see to it
that the members of different classes and orders properly
performed their social and religious duties and refrained
from creating a heterogenous class-chaos, that proper pro-
tection was afforded to all the nationals, that proper
G
worship was being performed in all the temples, that the
officers did not quarrel among themselves, that due alms
were constantly given to the destitutes, that the taxes 鈻�
were light enough to encourage the subjects to willingly
pay more than their dues, that the rival neighbour princes
were uprooted and were, then, again appointed in their king-
dom, that every city and village had its own inn with free
boarding facilities for the travellers, and that every city
had its residential part surrounded with castle-wall in
99 order to afford peace to civilian life.
The king used to hold, and preside over, his assembly
twice a day in order to ensure constancy of his popularity,
to afford, for expressing their love and faithfulness, due
opportunity to the subordinates, and to adjudicate in ma-
tters concerning temples or rituals, Brahmins and ascetics.
