It will be better if I take initiation while I am a prince. When he placed this thought before re ika he said – "Child! It is my time to take initiation; you must take over the kingdom.” When Abhayakum ra made a special request re ika said - "the day I become angry with you for some reason and ask you to go away from here and do not show me your face even by mistake, that day you can renounce.
