The Adhyaksa-Pracara systematically regulates the administration of state superintendents, defining their jurisdictions, duties, and financial oversight across economic and military domains. It mandates the establishment of villages, fortifications, and specialized offices for treasury, commerce, mines, agriculture, forests, armoury, and transport. Each superintendent is tasked with revenue collection, quality control, pricing, and personnel management, operating under strict accounting protocols and royal writs. The text details precise regulations for tolls, weights and measures, livestock breeding, and protected game, ensuring state monopoly over key resources and markets. Financial prosperity is treated as the foundation of governance, with superintendents held accountable for profits, losses, and labor management through standardized registers and regular audits.
