Vijigisu (i.e. the Aggressor, the central figure

other king, who is usually an enemy.

MITRA-BALA-Soldiers derived from anally in
time of an aggression.

allies and enemies as conceived in the Mandala
theory. His territory stands fifth from that of
the Vijigisu being immediately beyond the
territory of the Arimitra.

stop hostility and come to an agreement, aiming
at the gain of an ally for both of them, the trea-
ty is called Mitra-Sandhi (AŚ VII. 9).
MITRA SAMPAT-The ideal and desirable quali-
ties of an ally which put him to the best advan-
tage of the Vijigisu (AŚ VI. 1).
