re ika ate the poison from his finger ring and died.
K ika became very unhappy with all this and leaving R jag ha, he made Camp the capital of Magadha and stayed there. Mother Celan 's upbringing and values produced in him deep faith in Lord Mah v ra. He had a separate division, which followed up on news of Mah v ra's wandering and everyday activities. Once when Mah v ra arrived in the garden in Camp he went to him along with his family members.

Defeating many enemies during his reign he became known as Aj ta atru.
