Parshva Kumar smiled and said, "O Yavan king !When I have no anger for you, where is the question of forgiveness? I only want that you should abandon the path of injustice and immorality. Instead of war accept peace and instead of animosity learn to love."
The Yavan king—"Master! tell me what to do ?"|
Parshva Kumar—"Seek king Prasenjit's pardon and establish friendly relations with him. Return to your kingdom and justly rule your people. Neither do I require your kingdom nor do I want to subordinate you."
The Yavan king—"Your magnanimity and greatness are worthy of praise. Without a battle you have enslaved men."
The soldiers went and informed king Prasenjit—"Sire! A miracle has happened ! Parshva Kumar has conquered the Yavan king without a fight."
King Prasenjit came to Parshva Kumar with heaps of gifts. With joined palms he said—“Lord! You have done an unprecedented work. The task that was impossible to accomplish even after a terrible bloodshed was made so easy through your influence."
Parshva Kumar—"Here is your friend, the Yavan king."
