## Chapter 2: Collection of Examples
**205**
**27.** The example of Narada is shown in the commentary of the *Aavashyakahar* by Shri Bhadriya, in the context of the meditation on conflict. _The son of Nishadha, the son of Baldeva, named Sagarachanda, was very handsome and beloved by all. There was a beautiful woman named Kamalamela, who was the wife of another king, and she was desired by the son of Uggase, named Nabhasena. Narada came to Sagarachanda's house, was welcomed, and asked him, "O Blessed One, have you seen anything extraordinary?" Sagarachanda replied, "Yes, I have seen something extraordinary. Where?" Narada said, "Right here in Varavaya, the beautiful Kamalamela is in the house. Who gave her to you?" Sagarachanda replied, "Yes, but how can I be united with her?" Narada said, "I don't know." Sagarachanda, hearing this, could not find peace, neither in sitting nor in lying down. He kept thinking about Kamalamela, and he ate while writing her name on a leaf. Narada went to Kamalamela and asked her, "Have you seen anything extraordinary?" She replied, "I have seen two extraordinary things. Sagarachanda is very handsome, and Nabhasena is very ugly. Sagarachanda is infatuated with Nabhasena, and Nabhasena is repulsed by Sagarachanda. Narada has brought them together, and they are about to go together, as they wish." Sagarachanda's mother and other relatives were very worried, thinking that he would die. They came to see him, and they found him weeping. They comforted him, and they covered his eyes with their hands. Sagarachanda said, "Kamalamela!" They said, "We are not Kamalamela." Sagarachanda said, "Yes, you are. You are my pure lotus-petal-like Kamalamela." Then, those relatives took him to the temple, and he was relieved. He thought, "Oh, I have been relieved of my suffering. Now, what can I do to repay this favor?" He decided to follow the path of righteousness, and he went to Nabhasena's house. On the day of Nabhasena's wedding, Sagarachanda and his relatives went to the garden. Narada gave them a chariot, and they went to the garden. They were playing there. The others did not see Kamalamela. They saw her on the way to the garden. She was very beautiful. Narayana, the strong one, came out, and he fell at her feet. She gave him to Sagarachanda, and Nabhasena forgave him. Here, Sagarachanda's belief that Kamalamela was his wife is a delusion, and his statement, "I am not Kamalamela," is a delusion.
**28.** The battle between the king of Koonika and Chetaka, as described in the *Trishatishalaka Purushacharitra*, in the context of the meditation on war. Then, mounted on their chariots, adorned with divine earrings, wearing divine garments, they appeared like celestial beings. ||1|| They were both extremely beautiful, and they were both very proud. Seeing them, Padmavati thought that her womanhood was insignificant compared to them. ||2|| Without divine necklaces, earrings, and garments, a kingdom is like a face without eyes. ||3|| Then, both of them, with their chariots, were ready to fight.
