The Social Organisation in North-East India in Buddha's Time c12.34

c12.34

Perhaps it will be objected against me that I have attached too much importance to this passage of the Assalâyana Sutta and that probably the word *rájañña* is an error. This I cannot accept, for the same enumeration of the three *kulas* is repeated in exactly the same form three times and because the Buddhistic writers were particularly careful about their terminology.
