Certain Western scholars often bring up the contradictions between Megasthenes works on the Mauryan Empire under Chandragupta, and the works of the Chanakya Niti and Arthashastra as written by Chanakya. Sometimes, this argument is used to prove that Chanakya did not in fact exist, and that Chanakya was in fact a real individual. He was named Vishnugupta, and belonged to the Kutala clan and was thus also called Kautilya. His name Chanakya probably derives from his fathers name, Chanaka. Here we will look at how these differences are not really differences. Gba Roms Download Deutsch Kostenlos on this page. An endeavor is made here to examine briefly the differences and the similarities between Megasthenes Fragments and the Kautilya and see how the differences so called are really minor and mostly imaginative.

In this particular the plan followed is to a large extent that of Otto Stein in his Megasthenes and Kautilya where he has exhaustively dealt with this question. The Chanakya Niti Megasthenes Indika Comparison. Roads. Among the public institutions examined by Stein are first the roads. According to Megasthenes, The length from west to east as far as Palibothra can be stated with greater certainty, for the royal road is measured by schoni, and is in length 1. The Greek expression in the Indika means the Indian raja marga or royal road. Telugu Puranas Pdf' title='Telugu Puranas Pdf' />And it is argued that in the Kautilya the road which goes from west to east is not the royal road but the high road which is a trade route. It may be that Kautilya was aware of it and he had no occasion to mention it. Milestones. Secondly, the following are the remarks of Megasthenes on the milestones They Agoranomen construct roads, and at every ten stadia set up a pillar to show the by roads and distances. In the opinion of Schwanbeck, the schoemis which with Eratosthenes coincides with the Indian measurement of distance, yojana, is a measure of 4. While we do not meet with the term krosa as an official measurement in the Arthashastra, the term is not unknown to Ashokan inscriptions. According to the seventh Pillar Edict of Ashoka at intervals of eight kos the roads were marked by trees and fountains of water. Mile stones might have been used or might not have been used. It may be as Stein suggests that Megasthenes has imported the Persian or Egyptian idea into India. If this were established it would not detract the value of the Arthashastra which portrays a state of affairs actually obtaining in the land. It, on the other hand, tends to reduce the intrinsic value of Megasthenes writings on India. Measurement of land. With regard to the measurement of land, Megasthenes has the following observation Some Officials superintend the rivers, and measure the land as is done in Egypt. It is argued that whereas the Arthashastra mentions measurements of landed property of the village perhaps for purposes of taxation, Megasthenes seems to refer to a general measurement of lands in vogue. Scholars like Law and Mookerjee have accepted the theory that the measurement of land was in practice in Ancient India. It is true that the measurement in the Arthashastra refers only to the village and its borders, and at the same time one cannot agree with Prof. Stein that Megasthenes refers to a general measurement of lands. That this is only a supposition of Dr. Stein, and that Megasthenes must have meant only the village measurement is evident from Strabo whom the learned scholar himself has quoted. Strabo speaks about the land measurement of Egypt in order to fix the limits of the property which were damaged by the floods of the Nile. Fixing the borders of the property must necessarily refer to the landed property of every village and not to a general land measurement though Strabo has not mentioned the particular expression village. One of the functions of officials like the Gopa and the Sthanika in the Kautilya is the survey and the measurement of lands. The Chanakya Niti on Farming. Irrigation canals. Speaking on irrigation, Megasthenes observes that the officials supervise waterways sluices which can be closed, and out of which water is let out slowly so that all may have access to it. Prof. Stein would not accept the rendering by Mc. Crindle of the Greek expression in the Indika as sluices. He interprets it as any waterway that could be shut up. We can accept Steins interpretation as it well fits in with the use of the term in the Arthashastra setubandhas. The term is also used in another sense, in connection by iron railings. With this we are not concerned now. Setubandha is a construction of a dam or bridge to shut out or let in water. This is the generally accepted interpretation and no purpose is served by twisting it and interpreting it in other ways. It has been accepted on all hands that one of the means of Indias irrigation was by means of canals and channels and this finds an unmistakable expression in the extant Arthashastra. The harvest seasons Dr. Stein next examines the mention of the two crops in the course of the year by Megasthenes who speaks also of the fertility of the soil and a double rainfall, one in the winter season and the other in summer. Wheat, rice, sesame and millet are mentioned. Megasthenes who had heard of the agricultural industry from report because there is no statement that he went into the country parts outside the Capital could not furnish more details than these. Kautilya mentions the crops of the rainy season and crops which could be raised in other seasons also. The fertility of the soil and the raising of two crops, summer and winter, can be easily proved from the Arthashastra and especially the chapter entitled sitadhyaksa. Fortress at Pataliputra. On the fortification of Pataliputra says Otto Stein The fragments of Megasthenes refer to Pataliputra and its fortification. In the Arthashastra however there is no mention of Pataliputra. Megasthenes also speaks of several cities situated on the banks of rivers or on the sea coast built of wood instead of brick and of cities on other commanding situations built of brick and mud.
