1. Abhaya Kumar Chandpradyot, the king oei Ujjaini, one day sent an emissary to his brother-in-law (husband or his wife's sister), king Shrenik of Rajagriha, with a message "If you want to live in peace at once send the unique Bunkchood necklace,! Sechanak elephant, Abhaya Kumar and queen Chelna to me."King Shrenik was infuriated to get this message and said - "An! Emissary enjoys immunity, so 1 am not giving you any punishment. I Go back and tell your king that if he wants to live in peace he should send the Fire-chariot, Analgiri elephant, Vajrajangha the emissary, and queen Shiva Devi to me at once."
This answer added fuel to the fire. Chandpradyot attacked! Rajagriha with his large army and soon laid a siege around the city. i King Shrenik also made all necessary preparations. But his son; Abhaya Kumar, who was endowed with Parinamiki Buddhi, requested - "Sir, please don't jump into the war at once. Chandpradyot could be defeated by intrigue without fighting a war. ! Kindly leave this job to me and rest assured." The king had full confidence inhis son's wisdom, therefore he accepted this proposal.
Abhaya Kumar arranged, stealthily, through his spies, to bury gold, gems and jewels around the camps of various commanders of Chandpradyot's army. After this he himself furtively went to meet Chandpradyot and after greeting said "Uncle, this time you are seriously caught in a political intrigue. You are dreaming of conquering Rajagriha and king Shrenik has bought allegiance of your prominent commanders by paying enough wealth. They are prepared to capture you and produce you before king Shrenik. Come morning you will be apprehended. You are my uncle; how can I see you insulted by such conspiracy? Please do something."
Hearing this Chandpradyot became alert. He asked Abhaya Kumar - "Why should I believe you?"Abhaya Kumar - "You need not believe me. Come see with your own eyes." And in the dark of the night Chandpradyot covered himself in a black sheet and accompanied Abhaya Kumar to the camps of his commanders. Abhaya Kumar dug out the buried wealth. No doubt remained in the king's mind about the treachery of his commanders. He rode a horse and secretly returned to Ujjaini the same night.
