Dear Friends, To emphasize how careful the king should be even among his intimates, the Nītisāra presents a series of brief anecdotes about kings who were assassinated by by their wives and family members for a variety of reasons (specified concisely by the comm. Jayamaṅgalā). I was wondering if any of you know these stories in more detail from other sources. These are the stories of Bhadrasena (killed by his brother hiding in the queen's quarters), Kārūṣa (killed by his son hiding under his mother's bed), a certain Kāśirājendra (killed by wife with poisoned rice), Vairūpya (killed with a poisoned girdle-jem), and Jāruṣya (killed by a small dagger hidden in the queen's braid). Thanks and all best, भवदीयः,J
