TILAKAMANJARĪ OF DHANAPALA
what is done by man and what is done by Providence. He could control the inward and outward upsurges and revolts of the enemies. He was a real lord of the subject with duties towards four castes (Varņas) and stages of life (Aśramas) well laid down.'
Apart from this his feats of the sword subjugating his enemies, his effulgent prowess, his submissiveness, proneness to bestowing gifts, adventuresome nature, his unswerving temper under adverse circumstances, his keeping of good temper before the tense moods of his elders all these have been mentioned by the poet.? Consecrated to the throne while yet being a boy he took to all the facilities of youth available to him and devolved all the responsibilities of his kingdom on his ministers. He, however, did not allow his excessive addiction to lascivity encroach upon kingly liabilities. He gave proper attention to the grievances of his subject folk.
Being issueless like Dilīpa and Dasaratha of Raghuvamsa of Kālidāsa, Rājahamsa of Dandin, Tārāpīda of Bāņa, he resolves to take to austerity meant to expiate the sins on account of which he could not redeem himself from the 'Naraka' called 'Pum". In this manner he has been depicted as superstitious in the opinion of the Atheists and a highly religious Saint king in the opinion of those who believe in the doctrine of metempsychosis.
