## Chapter 208: The Scattering of the Eager Refusal
"Alas, how foolish I was to not know the power of Chetaka! I myself have brought about the death of my ten brothers, the Devabhas. " (55)
"The fate that befell them will also be mine. It is not fitting for me to retreat after witnessing the death of my brothers." (56)
"I will worship the Deities and, by their power, conquer the enemy. Divine power is indeed bound by divine power." (57)
"Having decided on this strategy and placing the Deities in my heart, the king, the son of Srenika, remained steadfast in his devotion." (58)
"Bound by their past lives and their austerities, Sakra and the lord of the Yakshas approached him at that time." (59)
"The lord of the gods and the lord of the Asuras said, 'What do you desire?'" (60)
"He replied, 'If you are pleased, let Chetaka be slain.'" (61)
"Sakra spoke again, 'Ask for something else. Chetaka is my co-religionist; I will never kill him.'" (62)
"However, I will protect your body, O king! So that you may not be defeated by him.' He said, 'So be it.'" (63)

"The grandson of Nagarathin, the guardian of the twelve vows, the one with perfect vision, the six-meal eater, always detached from worldly desires, the king, who, despite being a six-meal eater, became an eighth-meal eater due to the king's request, was greatly desired by the king Chetaka." (68)
"In the battle, even in the face of such a formidable chariot-breaking mace, the commander named Varuna, the true warrior, entered the fray." (69)
"(With three distinguishing features) He, the commander of the army of the king of Champa, facing the enemy in battle, spread out his great chariot with unbearable force." (70)
"The two, facing each other, stood firm, eager for battle, radiating the brilliance of the sun, fierce and terrible." (71)
"The lord of the Yakshas, the commander of the army of the king of Champa, challenged Varuna in battle, shouting, 'Strike, strike!' to the one standing before him." (72)
"Varuna said, 'O enemy! I have a vow as a Shravaka. I do not strike even an enemy with my weapon.'" (73)
"The commander of the army of the king of Champa said, 'Well done, well done, O great soul!' and released an arrow at Varuna, aiming at his vital points." (74)
"Then, Varuna, with his red eyes, struck down the commander of the Kūṇika army with a single blow, sending him to the abode of Yama." (75)
