Kautilya's economics is, in a way, the 'Encyclopedia' of the then 'Krishi Vignan', which became a powerful subsidiary for the strengthening of the national economy by becoming a guide for the Mauryan Empire. The role of his strong economy in the establishment of the National Empire by the Mauris was indispensable, in which the importance of establishing agriculture and new colonies was paramount. Shungas inherited the vast empire from the Mauryas, so it was natural for them to adopt the major economic policy of the Mauryas.
