The chief priest was always the political advisor also. Viśvāmitra and Vasiṣṭha were two great priests of the Bharata dynasty. There were other priests also. Mention is there about a Rājasabhā though nothing is said about the Sabhā or functions. It can be surmised that the Sabhā was constituted of only men of character and learning.
