Pāṇini gives rules to form words denoting the country of origin of a man (IV. 3. 90),² or his present habitation (IV. 3. 89),³ and also to denote \*bhakti\* which one bears to a particular country, tribe, ruler, or holders of \*janapada\* (republican rulers).⁴ One of the illustrations given by Patañjali is the community of \*Glauchukāyanakas\* whom we know to have been a political state from Macedonian writers.⁵ As they owe \*bhakti\* to Gluchukāyana, they are called the 'Glauchukāyanakas.' Kātyāyana modifying one of the rules of Pāṇini introduces the republican illustrations of the Madras and Vrijis.⁶ One of Madra \*bhakti\* may be called Madraka and one of Vṛiji \*bhakti\*, Vṛijika. \*Bhakti\* in these cases means constitutional allegiance. - [Previous: c20.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c20.6) - [Next: c20.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c20.8) - [Up: c20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c20) ## Cites (1) - [Aṣṭādhyāyī](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.vyakarana.astadhyayi-school.astadhyayi.4.3.90) — Pāṇini, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c20.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c20.7) · Pramāṇa
