| Abstract: | The Mahabharata is written by Sage Krsna Dvaipayana Vyasa in eighteen Parvas. It is the treasury of all kinds of knowledges and wisdoms like, morals and ethics, science and polity, religion and philosophy, social and economic etc. on the other hand, based on dharma, artha, kama and moksa (the four human values or purusarthas) the Mahabharata is known as Dharmasastra, Arthasastra, Kamasastra and Moksasastra. As Arthasastra the epic states artha is used for kosa or treasury. Kosa is very important for protection and maintaining the human life. Not only this it is very essential or unavoidable part to constitute a state. According to the Mahabharata, a state is constituted by seven elements or angas, which is altogether known as saptangarajya. These are viz, svami (sovereign or ruler), amatya (ministers), Janapada (population and territory) pura or durga (capital or fort), Kosa (treasury), danda or bala (army) and suhrd or mitra (allies). Among these seven elements, svami or the king is regarded as foremost or chief of all. All elements are making a close inter-relation with the state. Each having its own interests and moving at its own power. Without one organ it becomes incomplete. The Kosa is very important for well protection of state both internal and external situation. Hence, the king should take help of other elements for protection of state. If the Kings treasury, i.e. Kosa is always full, he becomes victorious, otherwise his security is in danger. For filling up the Kosa or treasury various sources and rules are found in the Mahabharata and other Indian statecraft, which are viz. the Arthasastra, the Manusmriti, the Kamandakiyanitisara, the Sukranitisara etc. in this paper an attempt has been made to study the importance of Kosa, sources of Kosa, taxes and revenue system etc. all in detail. |
