It is perhaps Kautilya’s Arthashastra which stands out to be thoroughly scientific and most authoritative interpretations of these ancient studies. Written in around 4th century BC by the Prime Minister of The Great Mauryan Empire Kautilya, also known as Chanakya or Vishnugupta, Arthashastra is one of the most influential and comprehensive treatises in Political Science in the Indian Vedic Civilization. Regarded as quintessence of ancient Vedic wisdom in politics and economics, Arthashastra holds remarkable relevance in today’s times with some curious resonance with the thoughts and theories of various philosophers, economists and political scientists around the world.

According to Kautilya, a king is one who:
Has self-control, having conquered the unfriendly temptations of the senses
Cultivates the intellect by consulting with elders
Keeps his eyes open and stays updated through spies
Is always active in promoting the protection and welfare of the folks
Ensures the speculation of the themes of their Dharma by authority and example
Improves his own discipline by enhancing his learning in all branches of knowledge; and
Endears himself to his subjects by enriching them
-/-/-/—/-//—/-/-/-/-2–/—-//////////
With enriching his self-discipline, he should keep company with learned elders, for in them alone discipline has its firm roots. For a trained intellect pursues yoga because from yoga comes self-control. Only a king, who is smart, disciplined, dedicated to a just governing of the subjects & aware of the welfare of all beings, can get pleasure from the world unopposed.
