page 137 note 1 Hertel, , Tantrākhyāyika, i, 142–5Google Scholar: it may be noted that on p. 145 Hertel misunderstands the words tatra yad bhūyiṣṭhāḥ kāryasiddhikaraṁ vā brūyus tat kuryāt: this does not provide for the acceptance of a majority view of ministers in a difficult situation, but leaves the king to take a majority view or the best advice given. The omission of vā as in the Tantrākhyāyika is easy, but misses the point. This view he wrongly uses to support his rendering of prayogam upalabhya in the Arthaśāstra (p. 22, n. 4)Google Scholar, which no doubt refers to Cāṇakya's practical experience, as taken by Jacobi, , SKPAW. 1912, p. 846.Google Scholar
