The Sajātas of a king are of course princes;³ of an ordinary man, Vaiśyas;⁴ of a military man, Ksatriyas. But there is no clear reference to caste as in the later Sajāti⁵ (‘man of the same caste’). The disputes of Sajātas were notorious.⁶ - [Previous: v2.c4.s9.100](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s9.100) - [Next: v2.c4.s9.102](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s9.102) - [Up: v2.c4.s9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s9.101](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s9.101) · Pramāṇa
