The minister waved his hand and said—"Come out of the tent and see the miles wide expanse of the camp of his army." The Yavan king stepped out and looked down at Parshva Kumar's camp from a hilltop. He looked wide-eyed at the elephants, horses, chariots and soldiers moving around as far as he could see.
The minister pointed—"See there sire ! Gods have raised a divine palace for Parshva Kumar. He is magnificent and unconquerable."
The terrified Yavan king asked—"Minister ! What should I do now." Minister—"Sire ! You should surrender and seek his pardon."
The Yavan king collected some gifts and came to Parshva Kumar's camp with his minister and staff. He was dumbstruck when he saw Parshva Kumar—'Oh! Is he a divine personage? So much compassion in his eyes ? Such joy on his face ?"
He then joined his palms and said—“O Lord! Please forgive me. I was terrified when I came. But now I am very calm and free of fear."
