Book Title: Some Historical Jaina Kings and Heros Author(s): Kamtaprasad Jain Publisher: Jain Mitra MandalPage 41
________________ 27 Thus we see that Kharavela was a born hero, a brave soldier, an accomplished general, a prudent statesman and an ideal ruler. He was also a great builder and a true man of piety. There is no trace of despotism in his biography. He was a king who emancipated India from Greek aggression at the time and brought joy to the hearts of his people. When he turned to religious life, he excelled in that phase also and realised the "Bheda-Vijnanam"-the seed of the true Bliss and Immortality. The doctrine of Jain Ahimsa was glorified by the noble deeds of this ideal Jain monarch. 1 1. Journal of the Bihar and Orissa Research Society, Vol. 111 pp. 426-490; K. P.
