## Chapter 2: Collection of Examples
**109**
Though you three are equal to me due to being grandsons, yet you are distinguished due to justice and dependence. ||48||
Even though this is true, I will give you two-footed ones for your satisfaction. If you give me a share of the kingdom, it will be just for both of you. ||49||
Going to the messenger of Chetak, the messenger told his master. Then, he too, filled with anger, spoke of the journey. ||50||
United with ten Kaladyas, with brothers similar to himself, thirty-three thousand chariots, horses, and elephants, ||51||
Thirty-three crore soldiers, he then moved. Kuniika covered the earth and sky with dust-filled armies. ||52||
(Couplet) Then, united with eighteen kings, wearing crowns, he was equipped with fifty-seven thousand chariots, elephants, and horses. ||53||
Chetak also came with fifty-seven crore soldiers. He formed a war formation with his army on the border of his country. ||54||
(Couplet) Kuniika also arrived there and formed a Tayavyuha formation with his army. He fought fiercely, like time fighting time. ||55||
With a visible army of heroes, with their backs uncovered, and their clothes torn, both armies prepared for a fierce battle. ||56||
The Nishad fought with the Nishad, the charioteer with the charioteer, the Sadi with the Sadi, and the foot soldier with the foot soldier. ||57||
Kali, eager for victory, fought alongside Chetak's army. He then went to Chetak, who was fighting the king. ||58||
Then, every day, he released arrows, holding his bow. Chetak killed him, the guest of death, with a divine arrow. ||59||
Unable to bear the sight of the army of the king of Champa, filled with sorrow, the sun then set, and the battle ceased. ||60||
On the second day, the armies again engaged in battle. Chetak killed Mahakal, the commander of Kuniika's army. ||61||
Thus, after killing many others, in eight days, Asoka Chandra, filled with sorrow, thought, ||62||
"I have killed this king, not knowing his divine power. My ten Kaladyas brothers have met their end in vain. ||63||
Today, I will worship some god and conquer this enemy. If not, I will soon follow them." ||64||
Thinking thus, he meditated on the gods, and on the eighth day, he was visited by Indra and Yama, who were his companions in his previous birth. ||65||
"What do you desire?" they asked. Then, Kuniika said, "If you are pleased, let Chetak be killed now." ||66||
Indra said to Yama, "I will not kill Chetak. I will protect him, due to your devotion." ||67||
"In the battle, give him a chariot with a large stone, a thorny club, and a mace. Yama, you will be the reason for his victory over his enemy." ||68||
"First, when they are thrown at the enemy, the thorny club and the large stone weapon will be deadly." ||69||
"In the second battle, the chariot with the mace will be confusing, without any confusion. It will roam around, destroying the enemy's forces." ||70||
Then, the wicked Kuniika, pleased, went to the king. He stirred up the war formation, like the ocean stirred by the mountain. ||7
