3. Ajiyaseņa King of Vasamta pura(3). Gunacandra and Bālacandra were his attendants. Once while going out with the king at night they lost their swords in the way. They made a thorough search but the swords could not be traced. Under this circumstance, Gunacandra pledged withdrawal of his right of possession of the sword. Bālacandra left the problem as it was. After a few days the swords were recovered and placed before the king. He summoned bɔth of the attendants and asked them to take their swords back. Bālacandra took his sword back, whereas Gunacandra expressed his inability to accept it. He said to the king: "In order to avoid my association with the sin resulting from the use of the sword I have withdrawn my right to have it. This sword, now, does not belong to me." The king was very glad to hear it.1
