We learn from the Introduction to the drama that Visakhadatta was the son of Prithu and grandson of Vatesvaradatta a Samanta or subordinate chief Professor Wilson was inclined to think that Maharaja Prithu might be the Chouhan Prince Prithu Rai of Ajmir; but he himself pointed out that the Chouhan Prince was never called Maharaja; and that the name Nateswara Datta would present a serious difficulty in the way of identifying the poet's father with the Chouhan Prince Prithu Rai of Ajmir.
In this condition of things, it was still quite possible, that one not himself a Buddhist and Visakhadatta plainly was not one should refer to Buddhism in the complimentary terms we find in the passage under discussion. The late Mr. Justice Telang observes: "The policy of Chanakya is not remarkable for high morality.
When we hear of one great politician of modern days declaring another to be a great statesman, because, as I believe he expressed it, the latter lied so cleverly, we cannot say that the world has risen to any very perceptibly higher moral plane in the times of Metternich and Napoleon, than in those of Chanakya and Rakshasa. Visakhadatta or Visakhadeva is the author of Mudrarakshasa.
