On the strength of this passage Mr. Jayaswal (Hindu Polity, II, p. 5) emphasises the secular character of the Hindu kingship but in the light of other statements, the contention is not borne out. (Aitareya Brāhmaṇa, VIII, 4, 12 ; Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa, III, 1, 1, 8 ; V, 4, 4, 7 ; Taittirīya Brāhmaṇa, II, 2, 10, 1-2.)
