The Kharassara-Jataka, referred to on page 135 above shows that the headman was expected to collect the revenues on behalf of the king and to secure the peace of the country with the help oHocal men. As we learn from the Kula- vaka-Jataka, (see p. 136) that, though th
...ere was a headman, the men of the village transacted the affairs of their own locality, we must assume that these functions did really belong to them, though exercised through the agency of a headman. It may be noted in this connection that both these" functions formed essential elements of the village communities down to the latest period of their existence. The Dharma-sastras clearly indicate that in addition to the above l the ancient village organisations exercised the municipal functions. Thus Brihaspati Smriti lays down the following among the duties of a village corporation: " The construction of a house of assembly, of a shed for (accommodating travellers with) water, a temple, 2 a pool and a garden, relief to helpless or poor people to perform the samskaras or sacri- ficial acts enjoined by sacred texts, the excava- tion of tanks, wells, etc.
