³ > समानिनाय मेदिन्याः प्रधानान्नृथिवीपतीन् । > न तु केकयराजानं जनकं वा नराधिपः । > त्वरया चानयामास पश्चात्तौ श्रोष्यतः प्रियम् । > अथोपविष्टे नृपतौ तस्मिन्परबलार्दने । > ततः प्रविविशुः शेषा राजानो लोकसंमताः । II. 1. 46-8 It is thus clear that the feudatory kings, were invited and not the notables of the realm ; the reading of the Calcutta edition समानिनाय मेदिन्याः प्रधा-नान्नृथिवीपतिः । is shown to be untenable by the verses following quoted above.
