FAQs

Why distinguish written decree (śāsana) and oral order (mukhājñapta) in 'settled' items?

It records authorization channels; written orders are verifiable, while oral orders require explicit noting to preserve accountability.

What does 'posted' (praviṣṭa) imply administratively?

That the transaction has been formally entered into official books—key for audit trails.
