内容简介
传为考底利耶所作的治国手册：行政、财赋、法律、农事、矿冶、间谍、外交与战争，通篇带着为当权者写作的那种冷峻。
背景与流传
此书失传数百年，世人只闻其名。一九〇五年，一位班智达把一部贝叶写本交给迈索尔东方图书馆，由 R. 沙马沙斯特里辨识并整理刊行：在此之前，近代无人读过它。归于旃陀罗笈多之相考底利耶的说法出自传统，但专家把现存文本的年代定得晚得多，并认为它是层层累积而成的作品。

The school of Manu (Manava) hold that there are only three sciences: the triple Vedas, Varta and the science of government, Kautilya's Arthashastra inasmuch as the science of Anvikshaki is nothing but a special branch of the Vedas. The school of Brihaspati say that there are only two sciences: Varta and the science of government, inasmuch as the Triple Vedas are merely an abridgment (Samvarana, pretext?) for a man experienced in affairs temporal (Lokayatravidah). The school of Usanas declare that there is only one science, and that the science of government; for, they say, it is in that science that all other sciences have their origin and end. But Kautilya holds that four and only four are the sciences; wherefore it is from these sciences that all that concerns righteousness and wealth is learnt, therefore they are so called. Anvikshaki comprises the Philosophy of Sankhya, Yoga, and Lokayata (Atheism ?). Righteous and unrighteous acts (Dharmadharmau) are learnt from the triple Vedas; wealth and non- wealth from Varta; the expedient and the inexpedient (Nayanayau), as well as potency and impotency (Balabale) from the science of government. When seen in the light of these sciences, the science of Anvikshaki is most beneficial to the world, keeps the mind steady and firm in weal and woe alike, and bestows excellence of foresight, speech and action. Light to all kinds of knowledge, easy means to accomplish all kinds of acts and receptacle of all kinds of virtues, is the Science of Anvikshaki ever held to be. [Thus ends Chapter II, "Determination of the place of Anvikshaki" among Sciences in Book I, "Concerning Discipline" of the Kautilya's Arthashastra Arthasastra of Kautilya.] CHAPTER III.…
