The judge was impressed by the courage and sense of justice of Karkandu. He said
All right, boy! You keep this piece of bamboo. However, when you become a king reward this Brahmin youth also.
Of course, Sir! I will donate one village to him when I become a king.
THE AWAKENING OF KARKANDU
The piece of bamboo was given to Karkandu.
When Yamadand heard of this conspiracy of Brahmins he got panicky. He told his wife
What if something happens to our son?
Jain Education International
Let us leave this village and go far away....
That night Yamadand left the village with his wife and Karkandu.
The Brahmin community deliberated on this decisionThis chandal youth has insulted the whole Brahmin community..... What an affront?
Traveling three days and nights they reached Kanchanpur, the capital of Kalinga. They sat down at the bank of a large lake outside the town. Suddenly they heard noises and looked in that direction.
