B. L. Awasthi 1976 Kailash Prakashan|last=Kailash Prakashan|pages=256|quote=Mahāsthāna inscription refers to certain measures to be adopted by the State authorities to help the people in the case of urgency—dire need-(atyayika) caused by famine and fire. It tells us that in the koshthagara and kosa (i. e. granary and treasury respectively) food, fodder and money should be stored to meet the crisis. Similarly Sohgaura Copper Plate inscription also asserts the importance of storing essential commodities of life in koshthagaras. Thus these two inscriptions of the early Mauryan epoch uphold the importance of treasury meant for storing all kinds of articles required by the people and government.}}</ref> | |||
