Koolbalak was an extremely short tempered and evil ascetic. When he lived with his guru he always misinterpreted what his guru 5 said and quarrelled with him. One day he was going along with his 5 2 guru on a hilly track when he got angry with his guru on some point. S
At once, in order to kill his guru, he pushed a large rock from behind y the old man. When the guru saw the boulder coming at him he
5 evaded it and saved himself. This despicable act of the disciple S angered the guru and he cursed and cast a spell—"Scoundrel! You are i
so mean that you can resort to killing some one. Go! I curse you that 4 a woman will be the cause of your downfall."
It was the second nature of Koolbalak to go against the words of his guru and try to prove him wrong. In order to prove even these words of 5 the guru wrong, he went at a desolate place and started meditation on 55 y the banks of a river. He did not even go into the village to beg food. He 4 4 lived on any food provided by any passerby, if at all there was such an
opportunity. Once the river was in spate. Koolbalak was afraid that he
would be swept away. But the effect of his harsh penance was such 45 that the river changed its bed on its own. It was this astonishing events 4 that gave him his popular name Koolbalak.
First of all Magadhika found out about the place where Koolbalak 15 lived. After that she disguised herself as a shravika and started 4 living near the river. She impressed Koolbalak with her devotion and 41 \ services and requested him to accept food from her. When the ascetic 4
came to her cottage for food she mixed some strong purgative in the food and served. The ascetic got acute dysentery. During his sickness LE the courtesan nursed him. With constant touch of the female body the ascetic was drawn towards her. Finding him in a mental state that yi suited her purpose Magadhika brought him to king Kunik.
Kunik first pleased the ascetic with his devout behaviour and then 16 asked.--"Great ascetic, please show me the way to breach this 45 immense and surrounding wall around Vaishali."
Koolbalak thought for sometime and then replied—“King, I will 4 4 disguise myself as an augur and enter the city. At the proper time I !
will give a message by furling a white flag from the parapet. As soon
as you see this flag you should retreat a short distance with your 55 army. This will infuse confidence for me in the minds of the citizens. 45
