Oldenburg, Vol. 3, p. 222) as “one who receives livelihood and money” (\*yo koci rañño bhattavetaṇahâro\*). A similar idea is expressed by \*râjabhata\* (Mahavagga, I. 40. 3 sq.; 66. 1; 76. 1), only \*râjabhata\* seems to me to have a narrower meaning and to denote especially a mercenary soldier in the king’s army. - [Previous: c12.30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.fick-1897.c12.30) - [Next: c12.32](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.fick-1897.c12.32) - [Up: c12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.fick-1897.c12) ## Linked texts (3) - [Mahāvibhaṅga](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.vp.suttavibhanga.maha.np.10.1.3.1) — Pāli - [Mahāvagga](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.vp.khandhaka.mahavagga.1.40.3) — Pāli - [Vinayapiṭaka](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.vp) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.fick-1897.c12.31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.fick-1897.c12.31) · Pramāṇa
