It is doubtful whether the Maghavans were more than this, or had any special rank as a class in Vedic society. See Sabhā. - [Previous: v2.c4.s4.36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s4.36) - [Next: v2.c4.s4.38](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s4.38) - [Up: v2.c4.s4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s4.37](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s4.37) · Pramāṇa
