Arth. The Arthasastra of Kautalya (otherwise known as Cicakya,
Vi§nudupta, and Kautilya). Ed. T. Ganapati Sastri, TSS.
79, 80, 82. Also, 2nd ed. (text) R. Shama Sastry, Mysore 1924;
the same scholar’s word index to Arth. (3 vol., Mysore 1925)
is indispensable, but his English translation (3rd ed., Mysore
1929) leaves much to be desired. The best available trans
lation, though not to be used uncritically, is still that of
J. J. Meyer: “Das altindische Buch vom Welt- und Staatsleben,
Das Artha&stra des Kautilya” (Leipzig 1926). cf. also
Meyer’s “ Ueber das Westen der altindischen Rechtsschriften
und ihr Verhaltnis zu einander und Kautilya’s (Leipzig
1927 : valuable analysis, without an index. The Niar&thl
translation of Arth. by J. S. Karandikar and B. R. Hivargfiokar
(2 vol. Karjat 1927-9) cannot be recommended.
ASWI Archaeological Survey of Western India ; particularly, vol. IV
(1876-9) where the caves used in the present work are de
scribed, though not too well, even with the supplementary
aid of Burgess’s Buddhist Cave Temples.
