assembly were Suyajna, Jabali, Kashyapa, Gautama, Markandeya, Dheergayu and
Kathyayana, a few of elderly scholars were well taken care of the ancestral
rituals of King Dasaratha. All of them were highly intellectual,
gracious, perfect control over their senses, prominent in all science, courageous

greed in them. They had thorough
knowledge about the past, present and future about the Kingdom of Ayodhya and
its affairs. They were highly efficient

punish their own progeny. There was no
manipulation in collection of funds and in the allocation of army personnel,
they were valorous with great enthusiasm, all of them of were duty bound and no
one is tortured until and unless deserved to be punished, they were efficient administrators
of political science and protectors of subjects and their Kingdom. They don’t maltreat the Brahmins and Kshtriyas

considering their strength and weakness.

or don’t look for other man’s wife, in this manner a perfect peace prevailed in
the city. The army personnel of King
