through Bhadratha, as mentioned in the Mahabharata. Jarasandha made 101 kings prisoners for
the purpose of sacrificing them. Curiously, in the
Jatakas we hear of mcre than one king, thinking
of putting to death the same number of kings or
ven more, after having imprisoned them as captives

so far as
we can see from the evidence, supplied by the
Jatakas, is an engima to us. Rhys Davids
took 7,707 Rzjas as representing an equal number
of chiefs, but he did not attempt to define the
characteristics of this peculiar system of government.
D. R. Bhandarkar and R. C. Majumdar undertook,
several years ago, to solve the question with all
seriousness and seems to have worked out a common
theory. Majumdar rvrites in his 'Corporate
complete administrative machinery"' To BhanCarkar it appears that the Licchavi kings haci

supreme power. in certain respects with the help
of his upard,ja, senapati and bhanQagariha' He is

So lar as the fate of the king and that of

however, that this advice led to disastrous consequences. For, after this had been acted upon

Foreign trade could not have flourished without some ccde of inter-state regulations. no matter

even though direct evidence is lacking, that politicali
factors played an important part in reguiating such
iniand and foreign trade. Foreign kings were.
probably represented in the courts of their lndian
counterparts by their own messengers. We hear of'messengers come from foreign countries' in the

these names are hardly shown in detail. We are told
that Videha was a kingdom of the middle country
( Gandhara-!, 4A6 ) ; that a Kosala king, wishing to
conquer Kasi, crossed the border of his kingdom
and found himself in the middle country ( lanapadamajjham-Mahasiiava-J. No. 51 ). Arajaragiri was

but he had to come back without achieving his
object ( Palayi-J. No. 226 and Dhonasakha-1.

established over a considerable portion of the east

the north-west by Gandhara. This supremaclz

kingdoms, though of
rare occurrence, were not unknown. In some cases
the ulterior object of an invasion is difficult to
understand. It is indeed a question how physical
barriers could be so easily overcome in such
cases. A Gandhara king is said to have attacked
Banaras, for which no reason has been given.
Was it a merely retaliatory measure ? A Banaras
king is reported to have proceeded as far as
Takkasila to seize the kingdom of Gandhra, but in
this instance it is not difficult to take the
expedition as prompted by an imperial design on
the part of Kasi, of which more tangible evidences
are not lacking, as we have already seen. In

These stray

The Jataka stories bear witness to the comparatively high status once attained by the two
kingdoms of Kasi and Malla. Thus Banaras is
called the chiefest city in all India ( Takkariya-J.481 ), and Kusa, king of Malla, is described as the
chief ruler 'in ali India' ( Kusa-J.-531 ), probably
belonging to a branch of the Ikshvaku family.
Two more kings deserve prominent mention in this
connection. One is Naggaji who ruled over the
two realms of Gandhara and Kashmir, and the other
an unnamed king of lvfagadha.

This right was so commonly exercised that wise
men would often try to mend the character
of a vicious prince by a timely warning of the,
following kind : 'The people of this country
will not place you on the throne but uproot like a
nimb tree and drive you forth to exile' ( Ekapalqa
J.-149 ). The death of an oppressive king used

and do all manner of merry-making, openly

Origin of kingship
Regarding the interesting but highly controversial question of the origin of kingship the
Uluka Jataka says that the first h,ing was chosen
by an assembly of the pople ( atte pahama-kappiha
sannipatitaa ), belonging to the first cycle of the
world. The man selected, v/as a handsome frgure,
a commanding personality, endowed with all the
auspicious marks of a perfect being ( abhirttparit

Jataka instances of the destruction of entire kingdoms alcng with their ruiers, possibly preserve an
earlier tradition of mob violence involving sections
of people rvho had not yet attained the maturity of
judgment and the virtues of disciplined action, as
exhibited in some stories.
The qualities of the people, to which we have
already referred, were not, in our opinion, solely
responsible for the preservation of internal peace
and order even in the midst of violent outbursts'
of popular temper' If they bore any grudge it
the constitution that any injury done to him individually may spell disaster to the whole political
order requiring it to be refashionecl after revolution..
The number of cases, where kings are mentioned
to have made over the administration to their
courtiers without giving rise to any constitutional
crisis, is not smali ( Nos. 406, 459, 496, 4gg, 504,
539, 54+ \. Revolutions of the kind mentioned in,
the Jataka fables did not, therefore, upset the
traditional constitution or lead to its reform.
In fact, it was not the constitution that was supposed.
to be wrong but the king who misbehaved. The
mentality of the people remaineci on the whole

obviously refers to situations which knew no deifica'tion of kings, such s, for example, we find in
Manu and other later Smti writers. "The picture
of king being a deity in human form, as drawn
by Manu, should be contrasted with the picture
of a king, portrayed as a mere mortal in the Vedas
and the ArthaSastra".ss Though Shama Shastri, as
quoted above, refers to some Jataka stories in this
,connection, yet we wish he had made a more prominent mention of them with accent on their manifest
importance in preserving the tradition of kingship
treated as a human institution in this context. It
may be pointed out, however, that the sLaternent
,made by the Gandharan king in the Jataka No. 96,
about the limitation of his pcwers, is not in its
entirety borne out by the testimony of some other
stories. So far as the definition of his position as
the ruler of Tahkasil is concerned, there is nothing

relief erfind that the decree was not executed, as.
th people were intimidated into giving up their
wickedness and were thus atle to save their preciouslives. It is tempting to note a contrast between
the methods of this king and those of ASoka, rhe
grat Buddhist emperor of the 3rd century B. C. ,
though both were, to a certain extent, actuated
by the object of carrying on a moral propa-.
ganda on an extended scale. Another king of
Magadha vras strngely jealous of his state-elephant
on account of the high praises bestowed upon it br
an admiring crowd of citizens, and resolved to killl
it by casting it over a precipice ( Dummedha-J.-L22)"
Another king 'of a somewhat covetous nature,n
possessing 'a brute of a horse' was very much prone
to mischief ( Suhanu-J.-158 ). Certain merchants.
from Uttarpatha come with 500 horses to sell them.
to a king who wants to get them at a small price
by using violence in which the savage horse plays.
a prominent part. Thus he advises one of his.
ministers to carry out his intention, which though
cruel, is not devoid of humour : "Friend, make the
men name their prince; then let loose Big Chestnut.
so that he goes amongst them; make them bite
them, and when they are weak and wounded get the
men to reduce their price." King Dadhivahana is,
L2A,
and
so single-mindedly. A
courtezan named
Sam, who has 500 female slaves as her attendants,
is the favourite of a king of Banans (Kaqavera-l318 ). This woman is also visited by a young
merchant of the city. A king, inordinately greedy
of money, takes bribes (Iancan) even from ascetics
( Bharu J.-2L3'). Another worshipper of Mammon
is a king of Banaras, who is spoken of 'as given
over to the desire of riches and the lust of the flesh,.
and greedy of gain' ( Kamanita-1.-228 ). A king
of the Sivis secretly falls in love with the wife of
his Commander-in-chief, and so deep is his infatuation that there is every likelihood that he will
die if he does not get her. The general urges uporl
the king to accept her as a conditional gift, to be.
restored to him after he has enjoyed the pleasures of
her company. The injustice of this proposal dawns
upon the king's consciousness ; he sternly refuses.
the offer, uprooting the unholy desire from his mind
(Ummadantil.-527). A king adopts heretical views
( micchagahaltam gahetud, ) as a protest against the
conduct of an ascetic and drives away the whole
community of mendicants from Banaras, so that in.
the city there is tci be found not a single 'Buddhist

with a net-work of villages and towns' Forests

plan of village reconstruction, which is to include,
excavation of tanks, repair of old ones, keeping
the roads in good order, clearing up jungles and
forests, erection of public halls for divine service
or for the dissemination of noble ideas amongst
the rurai folk. There is nothing to indicate that
the workers of the Macala village depended upon
state grants for carrying on their humanitarian

Villages were not despised by aristocrats, landowners and merchants ( cf. Kasirahe ehasmi

Any unhealthy policy, adopted by the govern'ment, was not slow to produce baneful effects upon
the condition of rural life. Thus some villages are
reported to have been destroyed as a consequence
of gross 'misrule and heavy taxation. Villagers are
'described as fleeing to the woods for the protection
of their lives, when everything they had possessed,
were taken away either by the king's officer or
robbers.

Penalties for crimes were characterised by unmi=.

shown to culprits. But the application of laws was
often delayed or even stopped owing to the venality
of officers concerned. Capital punishment was
prescribed even f'or thieves and robbers ( 4L9, 318 ).

concludes Charpentier,
"must be one of considerable ge, for the name
SUrparaka must certainly date from at least some
centuries B. C." Charpentier's investigations make
it amply clear that the criterion for determining
the historical value and relative ages of our literary
materials has not yet been definitely frxed. It is still
in a process of evolving.
The high antiquity of Dantapurazll in Kalinga,
.another place mentioned in the Jatakas, is not
unsupported by facts, gleaned from various sources.
It was also called Dantakura and there are traditions
connecting it with the tooth-relic of the Buddha or
the glories of king Dantavakra. The Purla Plates
of Indravarmanz t 2, dated in the I Ganga I year 749,
refer to Dantapura as the place where the king
:resided. Sylvain Lviz13 identifies it with the
