In the \*Perumkathai\*¹ we meet with two terms "நகரமும், காடும்," along with \*aimperumkulu\* and others who came to attend the festivities of Naravānan's birth. The Sanskrit equivalents of these two terms are \*Paura\* and \*Jañapada\*, representative assemblies of the people and not the mass of citizens. Whenever the latter is to be mentioned the expression is நகர மாந்தர் meaning not a corporation but a great body of all citizens. - [Previous: c8.s4.43](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1929.c8.s4.43) - [Next: c8.s4.45](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1929.c8.s4.45) - [Up: c8.s4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1929.c8.s4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1929.c8.s4.44](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1929.c8.s4.44) · Pramāṇa
