Brother! Which village is this? Which community people

travellers?

We've facility, but not for the people of Kushagrapur. We don't even give them water. Their king Prasenjit has harassed us
very much.
Shrenik and the merchant Subhadra moved ahead after that insult. They saw a Buddha monastery on the way. Both reached the monastery. The monk there welcomed both the travellers lovingly and gave them meals. When both were to move ahead after a short halt, the monk blessed Shrenik and said
Brilliant gentleman! Your good feature tells that you will be a brave emperor of some kingdom
soon.
If whatever you said turns out true than I'll definitely give you a royal
honor.
