But a prince duly honoured by the king and esteemed by the citizens enjoyed the confidence of the state. He was made the crown prince and drew a handsome allowance of 48,000 paṇas yearly, the highest remuneration equal to that of the *purohita*, commander-in-chief, king's mother, and queen.³ Further he enjoyed the rare privilege of not being watched by the Intelligence department with the *purohita* and the commander-in-chief. All the other fifteen *tīrthas* were liable to be watched by the members of that Intelligence department.
