In the introduction the importance of the study of the
socio-economic condition of viharas is briefly discussed and the
work written so far on the subject are mentioned. An exercise in
historical geography of eastern India is made in the second
chapter, as a background for this study. The third chapter deals
with one of our basic source materials i.e. archaeology of viharas,
in order to throw some light on the monastic settlement and its
pattern, in eastern India. In the fourth chapter, we have discussed
the wealth of viharas and also tried to show that viharas'
development as economic institutions ultimately led to their
assumption of new roles and responsibilities in the contemporary
society. In the fifth chapter, the administrative organization of
viharas is examined, paying special attention to the management of
property. The relationship between state, society and viharas, have
been evaluated in sixth chapter, where in the process, viharas'
ideological role gets highlighted.
