How far in addition to the \*uparājan\* the remaining members of the ruling house participated in the administration does not appear clearly from the Jātakas. Only, that standing next in rank to the viceroy, the \*senāpati\* was a kinsman of the king, we read from the \*Devadhamma Jātaka\*, where it is said that the king gives his younger brother the \*uparajja\* and his step-brother the office of \*senāpati\*.
