‡ Anuśāsanaparvan LXI 32-33. Prof. Benoy Kumar Sarkar (*Political Science Quarterly*, March 1918, p. 498), considers we think, without sufficient reason, two verses in the Manusaṁhitā (VII 111-112) to involve "an unequivocal enunciation of the doctrine of resistance, *i.e.* of the rights of the people against the king." In our opinion these merely convey a solemn warning to the oppressive king, and may at the most be construed into an inculcation of the duty of protection. Cf. p. 184, footnote, supra.
