c44.18

¹ *Śukranītisāra*, II. 362-369. कार्यान्तराकुलतयान्तः न मन्यते । युवराजादिभिस्तैस्तैस्तदनेन च दर्शितम् ।। ३६८ ससृष्टं विविधेर्युग्यैः सर्वैरभिमतंमतः । राजा दृष्टमिति लिखेत् द्राक् सम्बन्धैर्नामकैः ।। ३६६ The set endorsements are all in Sanskrit. This implies that the procedure belongs to the period of the Sanskrit revival which is now to be dated in the light of the history of the Śuṅga revolution between 150 B.C. and 100 A.C. (JBORS., IV, pp. 257—65). The Divyāvadāna (pp. 404 and 429) also uses the word *gana* to denote the cabinet or council of ministers (*amātya-gana*).
