(3) The King's coercive authority. Cf. Manu Saṁ. VII. 14 etc. and see U.N. Ghoshal, HIPI,
p. 53, for other references.
(4) Attack, assault or violence. In this sense it
is the last of the four political expedients
(Upāyas). Cf. Manu Saṁ. VII. 109; Śiśupālavadha II 54, At VII. 198,
Manu seems to equate Daṅḍa to Yuddha. Kauṭilya speaks of three
varieties of Daṇḍa, viz. Vadha (killing), Parikleśa (Torturing
like putting in the prison and beating), Arthāharaṇa (grabbing of
wealth).
Cf. vadhaḥ parikleśortha-haraṇaṁ daṇḍa iti (AS'Ś II. 10).

Medhātithi says-amātye senāpatau daṇḍo hastyādibalam
āyattam. Medhātithi here ex-
plains Daṇḍa as the Bala comprising of ele-
phants etc.
(6) A form of military army or battle order
(Vyūha). AS'Ś, X. 6. Cf. P. C. Chakravarti, The Art of War in Ancient India, pp.
113, 115,
(7) Soldiers, as in the term Daṇḍa sampat.
(AS'Ś VI. 1).
DAṆḌANĪTĪ--(1) One of the four basic sciences
(Vidyas). Cf. ānvīkṣikī trayīvārtā daṇḍanītiśceti
vidyāḥ (AS'Ś I. 1)
(2) In contrast with the definitions of Trayī
and Vārtta, it is defined to be concerned with
policy and impolicy. Cf. nayāpanayau daṇḍa-
nītyām (AS'Ś I. 1).
(3) But the acquisition and preservation of all
other Three Vidyās depend on the King's coer-
