Two notable aspects of Nyaya as defined in Brihadaranyaka Upanishad are that it is considered superior even to the king (unlike in western jurisprudence where law is declared by a political superior<ref name="LCHI-Rama_Jois-Ch2"/>), and that Nyaya and the king mutually strengthen each other. A king who is obedient to Rajadharma and an able enforcer of Vyavaharadharma in the Rajya will remain powerful. Nyaya was considered bounding on the king himself, who is the enforcer of law but never the source of law.<ref name="LCHI-Rama_Jois-Ch2"/>
