Whether corresponding to these nebulous provincial councils of *mahattaras*, there existed in the capital a grand council of the empire we do not know. Such a body is nowhere referred to in our documents but there is nothing impossible in its having existed. It could not have probably met frequently, if it existed at all, and it must have been eclipsed at the capital by the king, his ministers, and other high officers. Its powers could not, therefore, have been very substantial.
