Civilopedia entry[]

The early modern lawyer Edmund Plowden wrote that kings have two bodies: one on the earth and one that belongs to something beyond, whether legal or divine. In Buddhist kingship, the perfect king, the cakkavatin (chakravarti), is both world-conqueror and world-renouncer. Each speaks to the problem of royalty: royals are mortals, bound by flesh like everyone else, but they embody something larger. These worlds collide in the palace. On one hand, palaces hold dining halls, sleeping chambers, and lavatories that fulfill the needs of the monarch's earthy body. On the other hand, palaces possess the ritual and bureaucratic apparatus that attends to the king’s "other" body. As a result, palaces were grand edifices; while the king did visit the privy, he did so in a way that implied he'd surpassed the peasant's experiences. In addition to earthly needs, palaces held an aura of inviolability, fascinated outsiders, and held the administrative offices required for monarchical affairs. In the absolute monarchies of recent years, palaces became sprawling locations, as bureaucrats and other functionaries required offices – such as the “rear palace” of Siamese courts or the vast administrative wings of Versailles.
