FAQs

What is the administrative point of 'ekaikaśaḥ vanāni' (separate forests for each commodity)?

It enables regulation, measurement, and protection: each resource zone can be monitored for extraction limits, labor control, and revenue accounting.

How do 'karmānta' and 'aṭavī' relate to dravya-forests?

They form an integrated resource system: the forest is the input zone, the worksite processes outputs, and the adjoining forest-tract supports logistics, labor, and enforcement.
