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. - [Previous: c10.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.fick-1897.c10.3) - [Next: c10.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.fick-1897.c10.5) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.fick-1897.c10) ## Linked texts (2) - [Jātaka](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.jataka.211) — Pāli - [Mahāvagga](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.vp.khandhaka.mahavagga.1.40.2) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.fick-1897.c10.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.fick-1897.c10.4) · Pramāṇa
