## 110 **Aaturpratyakhyanaprakirnakam** The king, Chetaka, filled with anger, drew his bow to kill the approaching Tam, and immediately released a divine arrow from his quiver. ||72|| He placed a vajra-kavacha (diamond armor) on the front of the arrow, and a layer of iron on the back. Then, the Asura king, ||73|| seeing the divine arrow with its vajra-kavacha, felt a tremor within. The soldiers of King Chetaka thought their good deeds were coming to an end. ||74|| The truthful Chetaka released a second arrow, also named Chetaka. The second arrow also proved ineffective. ||75|| In the first battle, ninety-six lakh (960,000) men perished. In the second great battle, eighty lakh (800,000) men died. ||76|| Among them, Varuna, a descendant of the Nagas, attained heaven. His friend, Bhadraka, went to hell after experiencing animal birth. ||77|| Thus, every day, in the battle between the two armies, eighteen kings lost their kingdoms and perished. ||78|| A part of Chetaka's army entered the city of Vaishali. Kunika, with his powerful forces, blocked all entrances to the city. ||79|| (Pair) Then, the entire army of Kunika, mounted on chariots, rushed towards the two brothers, Halla and Vihalla, to attack them. ||80|| No one in the army was able to kill or even follow the approaching Gandhastina, who was carrying a gift for the king. ||81|| Following the advice of his ministers, Kunika dug a pit filled with burning coals and covered it with leaves. ||82|| That night, the elephant, realizing the danger, approached the pit. Even though he was hungry, he did not move forward. ||83|| Seeing this, the two princes, Halla and Vihalla, said to the elephant, "Why are you afraid of others? Why don't you move forward?" ||84|| "It is better to be a dog, always loyal to its master, than a treacherous snake, who destroys his master's work. You are like that treacherous snake." ||85|| Thus, addressed by the two princes, Sindhu, the loyal elephant, picked them up with his trunk and placed them on the back of the army. ||86|| He himself then entered the pit, sacrificing himself. What great courage this animal possessed! ||87|| Seeing this, the two princes were filled with remorse. They said, "We are blinded by anger and have done a terrible deed!" ||88|| "For whom have we abandoned our country? Our brother has become our enemy. And in this ocean of misfortune, our grandfather has also been thrown in!" ||89|| "It is right that we killed the elephant. We cannot live. If we live, we will only be disciples of the brave gods, and nothing else." ||90|| (Pair) Then, the queen, Shasana Devi, took them to the presence of the great sage, Virajina. They renounced the world and took the eleven vows, becoming wise and learned. ||91|| Halla became a god, victorious, and Vihalla became invincible, having attained the highest state of meditation. ||92|| Even though the two princes had taken the vows, Kunika was unable to capture the city. The moon of sorrow, Ashoka Chandra, became fearless and energetic. ||93|| "If I do not conquer this city with my army, led by Khara, then I
