There is a lot on this topic, but in addition to what has already been suggested, you might look at:

  • Hillebrandt, A. 1923. Altindische Politik. Jena: Verlag von Gustav Fischer.
  • Ghoshal, U. N. 1959. A History of Indian Political Ideas: The Ancient Period & the Period of Transition to the Middle Ages. OUP.
  • Losch, H. 1959. Rājadharma: Einsetzung und Aufgabenkreis des Kønigs im Lichte des Purāṇas. Bonn: Selbstverlag des Orientalischen Seminars der Universität Bonn.
  • Drekmeier, C. 1962. Kingship and Community in Early India. Stanford: Stanford UP.
  • Spellman, J.W. 1964. Political Theory of Ancient India: A Study of Kingship from the Earliest Times to ca. A.D. 300. Oxford: Clarendon Press.
  • Sharma, R.S. 1968. Aspects of Political Ideas and Institutions in Ancient India. 2nd ed. Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass.
  • Scharfe, Hartmut. 1989. The State in Indian Tradition. Leiden: E.J. Brill.

Even though the work is now dated, Ghoshal, in particular, is a good resource for directing the reader to relevant primary sources throughout the ancient period.

Best,
Mark

Can anyone point me to discussions about early mythological Hindu theorizing about the origins of state-level society and kingship?

Thanks,

Dean
