Alternative Forms of Punishment - Canakya Book Review

> You say Arthsastra is subordinate to Dharmasastra, and I would like to see

As I understand it, artha depends upon dharma, and thus dharmic principles

take precedence over artha.

 

"Actually, life, perfection of life, begins from religion, dharma. Then

artha. Then following the religious principles, you acquire money, artha.

Artha is required. But not in..., sinfully, but properly. Dharma artha kama.

Then, you have got senses, you require to satisfy the senses. So artha

required for sense gratification. But that artha must be based on religion.

This is called dharma, artha, and kama." SP Lecture Bombay, February 22,

1974
