<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->"mantreNa" has the tR^itIyA vibhakti, so it means "by the mantra" or by the code-word. If a mantrI or counsellor was meant it would have been "mantriNA" in the singular.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

lokayAtrA bhayaM lajjA dakshiNyAM tyAgashIlatA
pa~ncha yatra na vidyante na kuryAt tatra saMsthitiM

(chANakya-nIti-darpaNAH 1.10)
