Thereupon, persons experienced in the training of horses and charicteering, brought before him, out of a number of horses, a thorough-bred horse, and said “The kingdom of the king, in whose territory this horse lives, always prospers more and more, in every way.

A hostile king knowing the horse to be the source of increase in piosperity of the kingdom, once said "Is there any body here who will bring that horse to me? I will give him five villages as a reward." Thereupon, a servant of his palace. assuming the guise of a genuine Srāvaka went to Vasantapura, with the permission of the king. There, he adored the Jinésyara
