In the Vevala Katuja inscription of Mahinda IV ‘all these lords who sit in the Royal Council and who have come together in accordance with the mandate delivered by the king-in-council have promulgated these institutions.’ The slab inscriptions of Queen Līlāvati shows the creation of a council of ministers, wise and loyal, who released the kingdom from all dangers.³ Thus whether it was in South India or in the North there was no administration which had not a consultative assembly or council which invariably guided the deliberations of the state. - [Previous: c8.s3.92](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1929.c8.s3.92) - [Next: c8.s3.94](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1929.c8.s3.94) - [Up: c8.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1929.c8.s3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1929.c8.s3.93](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1929.c8.s3.93) · Pramāṇa
