To define the treatise as a systematically organized body of governance knowledge, signaling that statecraft must be learned and applied through a complete, ordered framework rather than ad hoc judgment.
It mirrors modern public-administration practice: effective governance depends on structured doctrine—clear domains, subtopics, and operational guidance—so institutions can train officials, standardize procedures, and ensure accountability.
No specific ruler or office is named; the implied duty is for the ruler and senior officials to master the full structured curriculum of statecraft to secure prosperity and security (yogakshema) through disciplined governance.
