At the time of your birth I hid in the dense thicket behind this hermitage.
...and he would grow up to become my killer. Therefore I should destroy this hermitage. When there is no spark left there will be no fire.
This rampage scared the hermits.
How ungrateful
of Sechanak? He is destroying the very hermitage where he was born.

We should go
to King Shrenik
for help.
The story of his birth came as a shock to Sechanak. He thought

The train of thoughts reached the bursting point. Sechanak exploded with anger. He started trampling the hermitage and uprooting the trees around
The hermits went to King Shrenik and lodged their complaint
Sire! A rare giant elephant with all auspicious signs has gone mad and is on rampage in the forests beyond the Vaibhar gun hills. It is fit to be the king of your herd of elephants.
Rest assured,
he will be brought in our yard.
