c7.84

Some scholars take the sovereignty of the Nandas as a joint sovereignty held by their family. According to *Chāṇakya-kathā* (ed. N. Law, v. 7), Mahapadma was succeeded by his sons who ruled conjointly, and one of them was selected by lot annually to act as king, while the sovereign authority was vested in all.
