Srivalayasinho, The two Vidhyadharas, who were dwelling in the abode of the Meru, were delighted to see the great king. They were adorned with beautiful ornaments and were riding on a chariot drawn by swans. They were accompanied by a large number of attendants. They were all very happy to see the king. They bowed down to him and said, "O King, we have come here to pay our respects to you. We have heard of your great deeds and we are very impressed by your wisdom and your power. We have come here to learn from you and to serve you." The king was very pleased to see them. He welcomed them warmly and asked them to sit down. He then asked them, "What brings you here? What can I do for you?" The Vidhyadharas said, "O King, we have come here to test your strength and your wisdom. We have heard that you are a great warrior and a great scholar. We would like to see if you can defeat us in a battle of wits." The king smiled and said, "I am always ready to test my strength and my wisdom. I am confident that I can defeat you." The Vidhyadharas were impressed by the king's confidence. They said, "Very well, O King. Let us begin our test." The Vidhyadharas then challenged the king to break a large stone pillar. The king accepted the challenge and easily broke the pillar with his bare hands. The Vidhyadharas were amazed by the king's strength. They said, "O King, you are indeed a great warrior. We are impressed by your strength and your wisdom. We are now convinced that you are worthy of our respect." The king was pleased to hear their praise. He said, "I am glad that you are impressed. I am always ready to help those who are in need. If you need anything, please do not hesitate to ask." The Vidhyadharas thanked the king for his kindness and then took their leave. They were very impressed by the king's strength and his wisdom. They knew that they had met a true king.
