v2.c28.108

The Mau stone inscription of the time of Madanavarman supplies us with the name of one of his ministers, named Prabhāsa, who was born in the lineage of Aṅgiras and Gautama Akṣapāda, the reputed founder of the *Nyāya* philosophy. He was, we are told, 'highly expert in the abstruse conduct of politics (*naya-prayoge gahane sudakṣaḥ*). After being '(duly) tried' (*sarv-opadhāśuddhi*) was appointed 'chief of all ministers' by Dhaṅga and king Gaṇḍa.²
