Elaboration In this aphorism, there is a mention of the departure of king Pradeshi with his family and the army to listen the spiritual discourse of Keshi Kumar Shraman. For detailed study, it is mentioned that one should see the detailed description of king Kaunik going to Bhagavan Mahavir to listen the spiritual discourse. In Aup-patik Sutra, there is a detailed interesting account of the journey of king Kaunik to have darshan of Bhagavan Mahavir. In brief it is as under
King Kaunik felt very happy to learn about the arrival of Bhagavan Mahavir in Champa city. He ordered that Champa should be decorated like a bride. He asked the army chief to prepare army, elephants and others for going to Mahavir in a convoy. He took his bath and got ready with members of his family. He sat on the royal elephant and the queens and family members sat in chariots.
In this journey, the eight auspicious symbols are kept ahead of all. Thereafter there are auspicious pitchers, the water pots, the umbrella, the chawarı, the flags in respective order. Well trained horsemen are on 108 properly decorated horses, followed by 108 elephants, 108 chariots with umbrellas and thousands soldiers on foot fully armed. Thus with four army wings going ahead, king Kaunik was on the elephant of coronation. Horsemen were ahead of king Kaunik, armed soldiers riding the elephants were on his two sides and behind him were moving hundreds of chariots. Thereafter were the ministers, city guards, government officials, noblemen, traders and citizens. Musicians were beating the drum, playing the flute and other musical instruments. Thus thousands of people in a procession and in a fit of extreme joy were passing through Champa city to Purnabhadra temple for paying their respects to Bhagavan Mahavir along with king Kaunik.
