He handed over (earmarked) one part to the army and transport and as above said got a big store constructed. He appointed many person there on salary (in cash or in kind).

२७५. तए णं से पएसी राया समणोवासए जाए अभिगयजीवाजीवे. विहरइ।।
जप्पभिई च णं पएसी राया समणोवासए जाए तप्पभिई च णं रज्जं च, रटुं च, बलं च, वाहणं च, कोट्ठागारं च, पुरं च, अंतेउरं च, जणवयं च, अणआढायमाणे यावि विहरइ।
२७५. प्रदेशी राजा अब श्रमणोपासक हो गया और जीव-अजीव आदि तत्त्वो का ज्ञाता होकर धार्मिक आचार-विचारपूर्वक जीवन व्यतीत करने लगा।
जब से वह प्रदेशी राजा श्रमणोपासक हुआ तब से राज्य, राष्ट्र, बल, वाहन, कोठार, पुर, अन्तःपुर और जनपद के प्रति अनुराग व आसक्ति से रहित होकर उदासीनभावपूर्वक रहने लगा।
275. Now king Pradeshi became a Shramanopasak. He gained knowledge of soul and matter, the distinction between the two. He started spending his life according to religious code of conduct.
Since the time king Pradeshi became a Shramanopasak, he became non-attached and observed a state of equanimity towards administrative matters, the state, the army, the transport, the treasure, the palace (the home affairs) and the people. सूर्यकान्ता रानी का षड्यंत्र __ २७६.
