________________
THE AWAKENING OF KARKANDU
They saw a decorated horse with a regal umbrella coming towards them. It was followed by numerous other decorated horses and elephants. The horse came straight where they were sitting. It stopped in front of Karkandu and whinnied loudly. Hundreds of soldiers surrounded Karkandu. An prominent person came ahead
Long live the king! I, the prime minister of Kanchanpur, greet you. O lucky one! The throne of Kalinga is unoccupied since the king died heir-less. This divine horse has declared that you be the king.
Please accept the kingdom of Kalinga.
I am pleased to accept your request.

Members of the royal staff adorned Karkandu with the regalia. The crown was put on his head. They came to the palace in a procession with him riding the divine horse. There the coronation rituals were performed.
