Danda, Mitra – iti Prakritaya”

the treasury, the army and the ally are the constituent
elements of the state (Business)”
(Kautilya Arthashastra 6.1.1)

Be ever active
“Be ever active in the management of the
economy because the root of wealth is
economic activity; inactivity brings
material distress. Without an active policy,
both current prosperity and future gains
are destroyed” (Arthashastra 1.19.35,36 )
![Page 12: Ideas on Finance and accounts - bcasonline.org on Finance and accounts Radhakrishnan Pillai ... Written in Sanskrit About 6000 sutras ... the payer / paid,](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051307/5ac838ab7f8b9a51678c0d55/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Macro and micro accounts system
In addition to reporting in detail as well as in
aggregate, there is also an individual
accountability for the revenues and the
expenditures” (2.7.24)
![Page 13: Ideas on Finance and accounts - bcasonline.org on Finance and accounts Radhakrishnan Pillai ... Written in Sanskrit About 6000 sutras ... the payer / paid,](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051307/5ac838ab7f8b9a51678c0d55/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Action point 1
“Wealth will slip away from the foolish
person, who continuously consults the
stars; for wealth is the star of wealth; what
will the stars do? Capable men will
certainly secure wealth at least after a
hundred trails” ( 9.4.26)

• “ He should check the income and expenditure
with reference to the period, place, time, head of
income / expenditure , source, bringing forward,
quantity, the payer / paid, the person causing
payments to be made, the recorder and the
receiver” (2.7.31-32)
• - In your accounting system make provision for
as many details as possible

Consult and then start
• “All undertakings should be preceded by
consultation. Holding a consultation with only
one, he may not be able to reach a decision in
difficult matters. With more councilors it is
difficult to reach decisions and maintain
secrecy” (1.15.2,35,40)
• “Therefore sit and counsel with those who are
matured in intellect” ( 1.15.20-21)

Listen to the opinion of every one
“He should despise none, (but) should listen to
the opinion of every one. A wise man should
make use of the sensible words of even a
child” (1.15.22)

Energy
“If the king is energetic, his subjects will be equally
energetic. If he is slack (and lazy in performing
his duties) the subjects will also be lazy, thereby,
eat into his wealth. Besides, a lazy king will easily
fall into the hands of the enemies. Hence the king
should himself always be energetic” (1.19.1-5)

Act with Tact
“He should hear (at once) every urgent matter,
(and) not put it off. An (affair) postponed becomes
difficult to settle or even impossible to settle”
(1.19.30)
