AJATSHATRU KUNIK
Magadhika enticed Koolvaluk with her beauty and he fell from his grace. He disguised himself as an augur and entered Vaishali. Wandering around, he saw a large stupa* of Munisuvrat Swami at the center of the city.

Indeed! This Stupa makes the fortification impenetrable If this is demolished the fort
could be breached.

Koolvaluk came near the Stupa and gave it a special attention. The passersby asked
What? How is the misfortune of Vaishali connected
with this?
You appear to be a scholarly augur. What do you see?
I can read that the misfortune of Vaishali is brought forth by
this Stupa.
This Stupa was constructed at an inauspicious moment.
It is because of this that the enemy has laid a siege. The day this is demolished
the attacking army will retreat. Vaishali will
be free.
