¹ Of passages in which *khattiya* is used as a synonym for *râjan*, I have made the following list from the Jâtakas. II. 166; III. 106; 154; V. 99 sq., 112. When the talk is of the warriors of the king, the Pali texts have other expressions, such as *balakâye* (III. 319) or *yodhâ* (Mahâvagga I. 40.2); even the esteemed military leaders (*senânâyake mahâmatte*) hardly belonged to the *khattiya* caste—otherwise, they would have been described as such—but rather to the *râjabhogga* or *râjañña* class of which we shall speak later.
