² In one of the Ajantā paintings, the King is represented as seated on the throne with his usual female attendants behind him, and his Prime Minister seated on a low stool in front of him. A crowd in front is lodging a complaint against one who seems to be brought as a criminal. Fergusson and Burgess, Cave-temples of India, p. 313. From the Mudrā-Rākshasa, we know that Kings used to be guarded by female attendants (pratihārī).
