**Day Scholars.** But residence with the teacher was not a compulsory condition of studentship. Day scholars were also admitted to instruction. We read of Prince Juṇha of Benares running an independent house for himself, from which he attended his college at Taxila: "One night, after lessons he left the teacher's house in the dark and set out for home" [iv, 96].
