early 12th-century Sanskrit text composed by the Kalyani Chalukya
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalyani_Chalukya_dynasty> king Someshvara III
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Someshvara_III>, who ruled in present-day South

work covering topics such as polity, governance, ethics, economics,
astronomy, astrology, rhetoric, veterinary medicine, horticulture,
