The Adhirājas were themselves placed under the Mahārājas. The Ik shvāku Van sa arose in this way; the first thing that the world teacher had taught men on the disappearance of the Kalpa trees, was the use of Ikşurasa (Cane juice), which earned for him the title of 'Ikşhvāku'. Subsequently in the course of a few years the term came to be applied to the family of R sabha Deva, the lkshvāku Vansa. The world -teacher also earned the titlesof Brahmā,
vidhấtā, Šāsta and ihe like which all • signify creator, because of his being the
