Taxpayer kings are 办补谤补诲腻 峁�a蝉峁�岣ゲ共�丑腻驳补辫谤补诲腻. Taking the example of Yudhi峁�hira from the 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补. 惭腻驳丑补 elaborated this concept.

Poet 惭腻驳丑补 had very much clear conception of tax. We come to know his knowledge about tax from the word 办补谤补诲墨办峁泃补. It seems that he gathered sufficient knowledge of tax policy through his study of ancient scripture,

The verse is鈥�

鈥湴觳拱�补诲墨办峁泃补bh奴p膩lo bhr膩t峁沚hirjitvarairdi艣膩m |
惫颈苍腻辫测补蝉尘补诲补濒补尘产丑奴峁ａ箛耻谤颈箩测腻测补颈 迟补辫补蝉补岣� 蝉耻迟补岣� ||鈥� 2.9 ||^[1]

Means,

鈥淭he son of Dharma (i.e. 驰耻诲丑颈峁ａ弓丑颈谤补) with all the kings made tributary to him by his brithers who are the conquerors of the quarters, will be able to perform the sacrifice even without us.鈥�^[2]

The 惫颈箩颈驳墨峁�u kings compell other kings to pay tax. This is the speciality of them.

驰耻诲丑颈峁ａ弓丑颈谤补鈥檚 mighty brothers鈥� are indomitable champions who have extended their conquests over the entire arena of this wide-wide universe. There by they have brought all the rulers, great and small under 驰耻诲丑颈峁ａ弓丑颈谤补s complete control. With much powerful brothers and assisted by the whole host of earthly kings, the strong pious monarch is competent enough to bring the sacrifice to a successful termination, inspite of our abstention from participation in the ceremony.

So, collecting tax from the other kings the 惫颈箩颈驳墨峁�u king should turn the king of all kings. Poet 惭腻驳丑补 is well versed about it.

In the eightyninth verse of the second conto we get the word kara or tax in the context of Government power based on ardour power.

The tall tree of energy, with the strength of counsel for a stout root, bears the mighty fruit of forces and funds that can be reached with the collecting taxes.

It has been discussed before that ardour is the main pillar of the Government power. Here it is repeated again. Ardour power is like a tree. This power enriched with the collecting taxes. The root of that tree is counsel power. Ardor power is augmented by counsel. That tree is very high. Government power comes from the ardor power like tree. A tree is bent down easily for the heaviness of its fruits. So, a person can take the fruits from this tree easily without climbing on it. So, at first counsel, after that preparation for action should take place. Otherwise it is in futile. All these are possible with the collecting taxes.

To control the kings administration tax is an important thing. In the 艢颈艣耻辫腻濒补产补诲丑补 tax came in the context of the 惫颈箩颈驳墨峁�u king. By the tex collection economy of a country becomes strong. Here the poet established his conception of tax basing the 惭补苍耻蝉补峁僪颈迟腻 and the 础谤迟丑补艣腻蝉迟谤补. The word kara is used by him. Manu also used this word. 碍补耻峁璱濒测补 used the word 艣耻濒办补 in this sense.

The 艢颈艣耻辫补濒补产补诲丑补 of poet 惭腻驳丑补 is also well known like 叠丑腻谤补惫颈鈥檚 碍颈谤腻迟补谤箩耻苍墨测补. 艢颈艣耻辫腻濒补产补诲丑补 is an epic, not a political scripture. It is not expected from an epic the detailed description of politics. 惭腻驳丑补 had also no such intension. We come to know that 惭腻驳丑补 had vast political knowledge basing on which he composed the epic 艢颈艣耻辫腻濒补产补诲丑补. He gathered this political knowledge from the political scriptures.

In the present discussion it is similarly applicable about tax. The poet mentioned relevantly the importance and utility of tax. 惭腻驳丑补 mainly wanted to compose his epic basing on political facts and stories which is related with 艢谤墨办峁涐梗峁嘺 of the 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补.
