33125725735579135955759 A divine soul had descended into the womb of Nanda. Under the 46 pious influence of this soul Nanda had a dohad (pregnancy desire) y
that she should ride an elephant and go around the city offering 55 41 wealth and goodwill to the townspeople. Nanda's father was pleased :
to fulfil her desire. In due course Nanda gave birth to a beautiful,
playful and healthy son. The birth ceremony of this brilliant child i was celebrated and he was named Abhaya Kumar.
With passage of time Abhaya Kumar started growing and getting education. He soon acquired profound knowledge of numerous 4 5. scriptures and many arts, crafts and skills. Young Abhaya Kumar one
day asked his mother—“Ma ! Who is my father and where does he live ? Considering that it was proper time for Abhaya Kumar to know everything, she gave him Shrenik's letter and told him her
complete story. Abhaya Kumar was pleased to know about his father y 4 and became eager to go to Rajagriha. When he sought permission s
from his mother, she also decided to join him. After necessary 4 preparations both, mother and son, left for Rajagriha with a merchant convoy.
After a few days of travel the convoy reached Rajagriha. They 5 camped in a beautiful garden outside the city. Abhaya Kumar left his
mother in care of the group and went into the city. He wanted to 4 acquaint himself with the city atmosphere and explore how to si approach the king gracefully.
After covering some distance within the city he saw a crowd of people gathered at a place. Curiosity drew Abhaya Kumar to that spot and he found that the crowd had gathered around a dry well.
When he asked about the cause he was told that a gold ring si Te belonging to the king had fallen in the well and the king had 4 announced a reward for the person who can get it out of the well 4 without getting down into the well. The crowd was of the people 4 \i wanting to find a way to bring out the ring but no one could find one si till that moment.
Abhaya Kumar said, "If I get the permission I can bring the ring i out.” The man standing adjacent to him at once gave this information
to the state employees. Realising that some intelligent individual has 4 come, the king's men requested Abhaya Kumar to get the ring out. 5 मितिज्ञान (औत्पत्तिकी बुद्धि)
