"मन्त्रि परिषदं द्वादश अमात्यान् कुर्वीत इति मानवाः षोडश इति बार्हस्पत्याः विंशतिम् इत्य् औशनसाः यथा सामर्थ्यम् इति कौटिल्यः" इति ॥

for example: "The school of Manu say that a king should make his assembly of ministers consist of twelve ministers; the school of Brihaspati say that it should consist of sixteen ministers; the school of Usans say it should contain twenty members; but Kautilya holds that it should contain as many ministers as the need of the kingdom requires.”
