## English Translation:
**13.** Knowing the sign of conflict, the king, by means of forgiveness, prevented the arrival of misfortune.
**14.** The wicked minister, thinking, "This king is angry with me," instigated all the feudatories.
**15.** That night, the great minister, with a large amount of fuel, set fire to the king's residence, but the king was always vigilant.
**16.** The wise king, taking his wife and two sons, escaped through a secret passage in the wall, slowly and stealthily.
**17.** He then went to the king of Kashi, Kasipa, a just and powerful ruler, who was his feudatory.
**18.** When the all-knowing minister was established in the kingdom, he sent a messenger to Kasipa, saying, "Kasipa, pay your respects to me." Kasipa replied,
**19.** "He who commits treason against his lord is a wicked wretch destined for suffering and misery. Such a wicked person is not even worthy of being named, let alone served."
**20.** "He who burned his lord, Rativardhana, along with his wife and sons, is a traitor to his lord, wife, and children. Even remembering him is not worthy."
**21.** "I will surely cut off the head of this sinner in front of everyone, and take revenge for Rativardhana."
**22.** Thus, the wise man, like a wise person who discards false beliefs, dismissed the messenger and his words, and focused on the task at hand.
**23.** The eyes of Kasipa, devoted to his lord, and powerful, were always fixed on the minister, who was ready to attack.
**24.** The all-knowing minister, accompanied by many kings, and a large army, like a chakravarti, was urged by the messenger and arrived.
**25.** Although the all-knowing minister, vast like the ocean, had entered the wide expanse of Kashi, Kasipa did not desire peace but was determined to fight.
**26.** The messenger sent by King Rativardhana to Kasipa, carrying the rod of punishment, arrived and entered during the night.
**12.** How can a person who is supremely devoted speak against his lord like that? What you have said is impossible.
