trī tu nītikusalah pandito dharmatattvavit deśa-
kālapravijñātā hyamatya iti kathyate (ŚNS II.84-

(10) At least in one place Kautilya seems to
use the term Mantri in the sense of an executive
officer. Because, he suggests that in an emer-

from AS I. 15 under Atyayika Karya). In the
passage referred to, Kautilya seems to use the
term Mantrinaḥ in the sense of Counsellors
(Matisacivas) and the term Mantriparişad in
the sense of 'a council of executive officers."
