It can give the meaning 'league of two;' but they will be \*Anuguṇas\*. Hence I have proposed the above correction. The further use of \*\*विगुण\*\* in the same chapter, \*e.g.\*, at p. 379 and the total absence of \*\*द्विगुण\*\* in the discussion support my proposal. Mr. Shama Shastry's rendering of \*\*अनुगुणान्\*\* as those 'favourably disposed' is far wide off the mark, AS., (Ch. XI.) - [Previous: c25.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c25.6) - [Next: c25.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c25.8) - [Up: c25](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c25) ## Cites (1) - [Kauṭilīya Arthaśāstra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.artha.kautilya) — Kauṭilya, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c25.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.jayaswal-1924.c25.7) · Pramāṇa
