SURSUNDARI Amar Kumar went and sat in his class. He thought sadly,
I committed a mistake today by ridiculing the princess so crudely.
But how illtempered and conceited she is ? She called me a thief. Am Ta thief? Let me get a chance, I will show....
The matter was forgotten. A little later they went to their classes.
FIFTEEN YEARS LATER
One day the king called Kalacharya Jnanasen and requested
ভভভভভভভত
O great acharya, the princess is now of marriageable age. Many talented and brave princes study in your school. Please tell me if you find some suitable match for the
princess.

After pondering for sometime the
O king, I have a teacher said
handsome, brilliant, and
brave student in Amar Kumar. He is no less than any kshatriya* prince both in studies as well as martial arts, but he is a merchant's son. Would he be acceptable
for the princess?
What if he is a merchant's son? If he is found capable 1 have no objection. I will take his test. If he passes I will marry
the princess to him.
