²⁴ VI. 1. In the Jaim. Up. Br. II. 6. he (*cf.* *Sāṅkh*, *Śr*. *Sutra*, XVI 9. 13) or his son (*Śat.* *Br.* XIII. 5. 4. 4) is styled a *māhārāja*. Too much significance should not be attached to the designation *rājaputra* (as distinguished from *rājā*). In the Mbh. V. 165. 18. Bṛihadvala is a *rājā* of Kosala (Kausalya). In a later passage of the epic (XI. 25. 10) the same ruler is referred to as *Kosalānāmadhi-patiṁ rājaputraṁ Bṛihadbalam.*
