Family: North Panchāla · Role: Purohita · First appears: Chapter V

In Chapter V, after hearing the conversation passed from person to person, the Brahman attached himself to Dhana. Dhana appointed him Purohita and bestowed much property on him.

After a time, Sudhana promised the Brahman who served him that he would appoint him Purohita after his father’s death. That same night, the Purohita persuaded Dhana to prepare to have Manoharā killed, saying, “If you, O king, are firm, you can bestow another wife on the discerning youth, and cause Manoharā to be put to death.”
