Introduction
out precisely the respective contexts for the
various implications of each term and care
is taken to correlate the various terms
having a common implication.
(e) The Glossary is expected to make the reading
of the original texts more convenient in
several ways. One interesting example as
to how a Glossary may help is that the term
Pūrvasāhasadanda is used in the Artha-
sastra as early as in the first chapter of
Book III, and severally in the subsequent
chapters; whereas, it is defined for the first
time only as late as in the 17th chapter of
Book III. Similar is the case with the
terms like Madhyamsāhasadaṇḍa and
Uttamasāhasadaṇḍa.
