of the crowd of his adversaries had attainted the high standard of the fame of ancient king like Nala, Ramchandra, Yudhishthira and Vikramaditya. This king had been so impressed & moved to mercy by the clener expounding of piety by Sri Hirarijaya Suri that the granted security of life (Amari-This onder prohibiting slaughter animals was issued in A. D. 1582. Vide Smith, Akbar the Great Mogul, p. 167) to animals of all kinds for 106 days in the year for all time and in all parts of his kingdom: namely on 18 days on account of the Paryushana fast, for 40 days in celebration of his birth day and on the 48 Sundays in the year.
