This educational folk song examines the administrative system of the Mauryan Empire, one of the earliest and most extensive centralized states in ancient Indian history (4th–3rd centuries BCE). It focuses on how such a vast empire was governed through structured bureaucracy, written records, and systematic oversight, with its capital at Pataliputra.
The song highlights key features of Mauryan administration, including central ministries, provincial governance, village-level officials, and revenue collection, especially land tax as the backbone of the imperial economy. It also addresses state control over trade, markets, mines, forests, and weights and measures, showing how economic regulation supported political stability.
In addition, the song explores the role of law, justice, and surveillance, including courts, punishment, and the extensive use of espionage to prevent corruption and rebellion. Rather than idealizing rule, it presents Mauryan administration as a practical system designed to maintain order, unity, and imperial control, laying the foundations for later models of governance in South Asia.
