“Holy monk, all progress is based on continuous effort. Not only now. It was like that before. The wise people of the past did not give up their efforts even in the most difficult situations, even when they were under severe attacks from their enemies. It should be done that way."
Then the monks asked the Blessed One to tell about the story of the sages who did not give up the heroism of the past. The Blessed One said this jataka. "Venerable monks, long ago there lived a king named Brahmadatta in Varanasi. This city of Varanasi is very prosperous. Therefore, as before, seven kings came and besieged the kingdom of Benares. The king of Benares asked the ministers about the steps to be taken.
“Lord God, we have a very skilled giant who can fight from a chariot. There are also two matching noble horses. Until these people are there, we have nothing to fear. First, let's send them to war."
The kings liked it. The two noble horses were dressed in war clothes and used in the chariot. The great giant also got into the chariot armed with armor. They stormed the fort one by one. While capturing the sixth community, Vele's elder horse was fatally attacked by the enemy. But the chariot was not delayed when the horse was bleeding. The king came to the courtyard. The giant immediately threw the horse from the chariot. The horse's armor was loosened. He leaned back slowly. A servant ran and fetched another horse from the barn. Hanikata started to pamper him. Hearing that beautiful sound, the elder Bosat opened his eyes and looked at the horse. 'We all lose at the last moment with this horse. It was understood that our kings also have to submit. Bosat called the horse giant. He recited this stanza while lying down.
"No matter where you go at any time
No matter which fortress you pass through
Whether or not the enemy attacks
Ajaneya Asuma wins
If you put it on sale, you will lose"
Even though the elder horse was badly injured, the giant understood the stanza. Abandoned the riding horse. He immediately came to Asu and bandaged the wound with cloth bands. got up Armored again. Applied to the car. Taking courage, Bosat the horse suppressed the pain and went to war. The seventh fort was also destroyed. That community was also captured and came to the palace gate. Now the horse is very difficult. The giant undressed the horse. Leaned into a canal. He closed his eyes and admonished the king not to kill the captured enemy kings and to free them and to treat the countryman with love.
