varunaḥ samrāt samratpatiḥ samrajyam asmin
yajñe (Šatapatha-Brāhmaṇa, 11-4-3-10) (Varuna
is the universal sovereign, the lord of universal
sovereigns; the universal sovereignty originated
in him....). This term used to imply a higher
degree of supremacy of the king to which it is
applied as an epithet. Cf. Mahabharata, Santi
Parva, 43.11 and 68.54.
SAMSAYA-TRIVARGA-Artha and Anartha,
Dharma and Adharma, Kāma and Soka-these
three pairs are together called Samsaya-trivarga
as each of these pairs involves some Samsaya
(a state of getting puzzled) (AŚ. IX.7).
SAMŚRAYA (1) Seeking shelter.
(2) It is one of the six modes of foreign policy
(see ṣādgunya).
(3) Kautilya maintains that a King, being in
hostility with another, takes shelter with yet
another more powerful King by surrendering
himself and his belongings, cf. parārpaṇam
saṁśrayaḥ (AŚ VII.1).
SAHAJA-BALA-Strength of a King's own self.
SAHAJA-MITRA-See Mitra.
SAHAJA-SATRU-An enemy by birth. A King of
a different country who happens to bear some
family relation with the Vijīgişu, becomes an
enemy of this sort. Cousins and even full-blooded
brothers are apt to come under this category."
(See Ari).
