  • Ancient Indian literature mentions two more types of ganasanghas. 
  • ‘Ayudhjivi’ sangh and ‘VartaShastropajivi’ sangh. 
  • ‘Varta’ means trade and commerce. 
  • The people in the Varta-Shastropajivi ganasanghas lived by trade and commerce, agriculture and animal husbandry, as well as their skills in warfare. 
  • People in the Kamboj and Saurashtra ganasanghas earned their livelihood by these means.
