They were kṣatriyas, had the ministrations of brahmans and observed brahmanic rites.⁶ Hence the then Vasiṣṭha, Atharvanidhi I Āpava (p. 207), maintained his position as the great priest of Ayodhyā among them. So the kingdom remained for more than twenty years till Sagara attained manhood. - [Previous: c29.172](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c29.172) - [Next: c29.174](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c29.174) - [Up: c29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c29) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c29.173](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c29.173) · Pramāṇa
