Book III :      On Laws

One cannot deny that the over-archaic structure needed to regulate any authority within a state is its legal system.  Adhikaranam III is a treatise on the laws that existed in the Mauryan empire with respect to its societal concerns varying over marriage, inheritance, property purchase, sale, destruction and infringements of agreements, debts and deposits, slavery, labour, robbery defamation, assault, gambling, betting and other miscellaneous offences. Legal disputes and resolution mechanisms relating to these matters have been elucidated for peace and harmony to prevail in the society.
