Abstract

According to King's study in Jain Puranas, it is known that the king was the supreme authority of his kingdom. He was the leader of the monarchy, army, administration and judiciary. His rights were unlimited. He used to appoint high officials, ambassadors, monks and governors of his country. According to Mahapurana, the state was expected to appoint his son or brother in his place in place of the dead person in the war. Regarding the King's daily routine in Jain Puranas, it has been mentioned that the king rose from the bed and worshiped gods and gurus. After this he would sit with the queen on the throne in the hall. It is mentioned in the Mahapuraan that the object of Raja's instinct was to see that the unbiased observation of all, protecting the totality, protecting himself by intellect, and following the people. It is described in Mahapuraan that he used to perform various functions in relation to religion, meaning and work in his kingdom. In the Puranas, the king gave the time to meet his people. This idea is also available to us in the Jnanayatra Granth Mahabharata.
