c7.185
This chancellor, for the time being, has gained complete ascendancy, having ousted from favor a rival, Spiritual Wisdom (jñāna or jñānaśarman) by name, to whose advice the inactive Jīva had been all too prone to listen. Spiritual Wisdom, by nature unconcerned with worldly affairs and wholly devoted to the pursuit of transcendental truth, had formerly held a strong appeal to the passive character of the king. His influence, should he again become a favorite, might estrange Jīva from Worldly Intelligence, who now practically manages the whole work of defense.
