The Laghu Cāṇakya version (CL) contains only
a small number of maxims dealing with raja-nīti,
namely fifteen.
 
21. The following table gives a better picture for
the analysis of the maxims and aphorisms included.
in this study. The figures in italics denote that the
maxim included in this study is found only in some
texts of the appropriate version; x denotes that the
maxim is found only in some texts but not in the
reconstructed text of that version; Crn denotes the
number of maxims found in the second part of the
present study. Whenever there is no space available
in the table for denoting the various individual texts
in which the maxim is found, it is enumerated
in the footnotes to the table.
