A state, like a body, has seven essential limbs - the Saptanga. Swami (ruler), Amatya (ministers), Janapada (territory and people), Durga (fortification), Kosha (treasury), Danda (army), and Mitra (allies) must all function together. Weakness in any limb threatens the whole body. This chapter examines each element and how they create the infrastructure that protects freedom.
