It is to the peculiar culture of Mithila where since the time of Janaka kings delighted in being learned like priests and priests became kings, where kings and queens preferred to be scholars-- it is to that peculiar history which ' does not centre round valiant feats of arms, but round Courts engrossed in the luxurious enjoyment of literature and learning' ,Mithila still holding Courts where poetry and learning were alone honoured.( Journal of the Bihar and Orissa Research Society,VI ,258.)
