Another stanza, apparently from the Matsya Pur膩峁嘺, has
also been quoted in the same connection, and the verse runs as
follows-
Purus-antara-tattvaj帽膩 pr膩峁兣沘vas'=c=apy=a-lolup膩岣� |
dharm-adhikarane karya jan-膩hv膩nakar膩 nar膩岣� ||
"Those who are tall and not greedy and know the minds of
others should be made callers of persons at the adhikarana or court
of law." Unfortunately, it is difficult to understand why the
caller of persons at the law-court was required to be capable of
reading the minds of others and also free from greediness. It
seems therefore that there is some error in the quotation of the
second half of the verse.
The Sabda-kal padruma further says that Dharm-adhikarana
(masculine) or a judge is the same as Dharm-adhyaksa and quotes
the following stanza from the Matsya Purana, Chapter 189,
enumerating the qualifications of the officer-
Sama岣� satrau ca mitre ca sarva-sastra vi艣膩rada岣� |
vipra-mukhya岣� kulinas' = ca Dharmadhikara峁噊 bhavet ||
"The Dharm-adhikara峁嘺 (masculine) should be a prominent
Br膩hma峁嘺 of a respectable family, who is an adept in all the
scriptures and is impartial to friend and foe".
This is verse 24 of Chapter 215 in the printed texts of the
Matsya-Pura峁嘺, in which we usually get the reading Dharm-
adhikarani for Dharm-adhikarano, and that seems to be a better
reading. Thus what has been said about Dharm-adhikara峁嘺 in the
艢abdakal padruma (and Monier-Williams' Sanskrit-English Diction-
ary) on the strength of the above-quoted stanza may be due to
misreading, and the qualifications enumerated may relate to
Dharm-adhikaranin and not to Dharm-adhikara峁嘺 (masculine). It
is however not our plea that Dharm-adhikara峁嘺 cannot be used as
a synonym of Dharm-adhikara峁噄n. What we mean is that the
views of the Sabdakal padruma and Monier-Williams' Dictionary
