===Public administration===
An extract from ''[[Ain-i-Akbari|Aaine-Akbari]]'' (vol.III, tr. by H. S. Barrett, pp217–218) written by [[Abu'l-Fazl ibn Mubarak|Abul Fazl]], the famous historian of Akbar's court, mentions a symposium of philosophers of all faiths held in 1578 at Akbar's insistence. The account is given by the historian [[Vincent Arthur Smith|Vincent Smith]], in his article titled "The Jain Teachers of Akbar". Some Carvaka thinkers are said to have participated in the symposium. Under the heading "Nastika" Abul Fazl has referred to the good work, judicious administration and welfare schemes that were emphasised by the Charvaka law-makers. Somadeva has also mentioned the Charvaka method of defeating the enemies of the nation.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4E0ctwAACAAJ|title=Astik Shiromani, Charvak|first=A.
