In Savatthi city,there was a king named Preahbath Pasenadi Kosala and not far away from the royal palace there a great mansion belonging to a well-know Brahmin family. This Brahmin was the priest for Preahbath Pasenadi Kosala.Inthat time the Priest Brahmin's wife had delivered a lovely baby boy. As soon as the boy had been delivered, an amazing event was happening: causing the weapons in the residence and warehouses such as swords, javelins, and sacred swords to shake and clash with each other producing bright light and great sparking. Nothing this event, the Brahmin priest took the slate and chalk to predict his son's horoscope, " Oh! my newly-born son will be very planet. That's why there was such weird phenomena." The next day, the Brahmin went to inform the king, " Last night, my wife delivered acute baby. I have predicted his horoscope and found out that he was of great intelligent, but he was born under the murderer constellation' of the planet, My Majesty!" Then the king disposition." The Brahmin then celebrated a name-giving ceremony to name him opposite to the event happening. He was called Ahimsaka which meant no-harmer'.
Ahimsaka was a boy born in the Brahmin family. His parents brought him up in the four virtues of mercy, compassion, altruistic joy and sincerity. When he grow up at the age of understanding something, his parent sent him to study literature and mathematics. Ahimsaka was a boy of virtues in his heart; he was very helpful with his neighbors and never harmed to any other people. years passed by; Ahimsaka was fully grow up. His parent sent him to study incantation and magic skills at a professional master's residence in the kingdom of Takkasila. Ahimsaka was very delighted because he would study the skill that he had intended to learn. Takkasila was a country full of great and professional masters. It opened its door to welcome students from every kingdom, who has desires to study incantation and magic skills.
Upon the first day of his arrive at school, Ahimsaka was introduced by his master to his beautiful wife whom all of his students called her, Mother, and also to elder students of both sexes male and female as well as about subjects if his school fir the four cardinal directions. Ahimsaka clasped his hands and saluted his mother and his famous elder students like Teayuk and Ampore and other students who came to study in this school too. Ahimsaka lived in the school; he paid attention to learn his subjects both day and night without lazing. He would always get up at down, practice his martial arts, and water flowers in the school campus. This made him have an excellent health befitting a man of intreped mind over other man. Moreover, Ahimsaka took the time to boil water for his master every morning. So his master was much fond of him. A part from that,he was very helpful for his classmate and never offended them even the slightest. Now very long, Ahimsaka was also very skillful in his arts in stick fencing, high jumping, He could leap from three Pyeams (one pyeams is equal to 1.08 meters) to five and up to ten Pyeams; such long jumping and leaping was a great skill for martial artists Ahimsaka's ability made his master and his master's wife as well as Amprore admired him greatly. Every competition at the end if each month, Ahimsaka did the best all in his school. And his master always awarded him in each school's competition. His intelligence and his ability got his elder students to envy him. And so they conspired to defeat Ahimsaka but failed to do. Next time while Ahimsaka was leaving school to have lunch, his elder students walked knocking him intentionally making him drop his plate on the ground before other students. Teayuk, his elder student, accused him of having the intention to break the plate, so he punished him to watch goats for a few day. Ahimsaka took care of the goats just only for one day, and then three goat were slaughtered. Then Teayuk and his clans scalded him that he had killed the goats because he wanted to show off his great martial arts. Ahimsaka could hardly find time to attend school because of severe harassment by his elde students. The annual contest came. His elder students intended to compete with Ahimsaka. But no one could defeat him. Finally, Teayuk came out to fight with Ahimsaka in the method of manipulating the words because he had desire to end the life of Ahimsaka, so fell on the ground unable to stand up. Other students clapped their hand and shouted 'hurray' to congratulate Ahimsaka, which made those elder students fell even more upset. Some students desperately carries Teayuk to take rest. Teayuk hurtfully told his master, "Master! This Ahimsaka is of tremendous force like a mating elephant; moreover, his techniques in using his hands are very quick." Then master rep"lied, "This Ahimsaka is gifted with these abilities by nature. He has ultimate forces. Neither can you defeat him, nor i can even dare to invite him for a fight." In the afternoon on that day, Ampore and the master's wife gave him a good skill shawl as prize for Ahimsaka, who won the annual contest. This made his four elder students extremely envy him. Teayuk and the other four students met and discussed to find a trick to sake Ahimsaka by inciting their master, "Master! if you let Ahimsaka stay here longer, he will usurp your position, and then you will lose your fame here. "So frightened the master was when he heard of this incitement. Then he called Ahimsaka to meet him and said, "Aimsaka! Today i have decided to sake you out of this school because you have the intention to lose my face and injured your elder students severely." Ahimsaka, upon hearing this, felt bitterly disappointed but still kneeled down and worshipped his master and said, "I'm sorry, Teacher! This is only an unintentional mistake in the competition." "What should i do to compensate my wrongdoing? No matter what you order me to do, I'll agree to do it as long as i can continue my study in the new course." added Ahimsaka. " Is that true, Ahimsaka? Or is this what you say just for the sake of speaking?" replied the master.Ahimsaka, clasping his both hands, hurried to worship his master's feet and other elder students' without thinking of his class at all. His master was very pitiful for himtoo, so he told him, "If without my permission, you cannot enter this school." " Where do I live, master!" asked Ahimsaka. "Where you live your matter. I don't have time to think about that, "added the teacher and walked away. Ahimsaka cannot complain Ampore for goodbye. Then his luggage to leave his master's residence to live with a goat herder. Three day went by; Ahimsaka didn't agree to return to his hometown. His elder students went to meet their master to inform him about this. Teayuk told the master, "Master! Ahimsaka hasn't gone back home yet. He conceals himself somewhere around here to design a wicked plan to kill you." "Master! So we have to join out hands together and kill him." said the teacher. "He has a special quality of in-born strength. And apart, he is very skillful in his martial art," added the master after contemplating for awhile, "I have a solution. We don't need to kill him. We just have him get 1000 finger. So he has to kill a person to get one finger. Doing like this Ahimsaka will have alot of foes waiting to execute his life. Anyone here! now go and call him." Out of the four elder students, no one dared to call Ahimsaka; they pushed one another. Later on, a student gave his advice to his master, "Master! Ask Ampore to go and call him back because she was closed to him." Ampore, as soon as she heard her master's order, hastily set out her journey. At the prairie, Ahimsaka was relaxing on a tree log near a pond feeling deeply remose to the thing that he didn't attend the class since he thought that he didn't make any serious mistake at all. Ahimsaka couldn't return to his kingdom either because his parents were from a Brahma family; they had restricted him to finish all subjects in all of the four cardinal direction. If not, they would send him back to school again.
Ahimsaka, after long and deeply contemplating turned to pat on the goat's head and said, "Oh Little Goat! you seem to have a warm comfort because you have your parents and relatives in your herd though you are an animal. You all seem to love one another very profoundly; you all have happeness more than I do just like this time. While Ahimsaka was thinking deeply about that, sunddenly Ampore arrived and Exhaustively said, "Brother Ahimsaka! You are wanted by the master to meet him.", Upon hearing that his master wanting to meet him, Ahimsaka was very glad jumping up and down hoping that his master would receive his status as a student again. Ahimsaka went straight to his master room; then he kneeled down and saluted him three times waiting for his master's words. Then his master uttered, " Enough, Ahimsaka! Do you really want to learn magic?" "Yes, I do Master! I am performing well on those subject. I shouldn't give them away while reaching half way like this, " Ahimsaka answered. Then his master continued," I forgive you a quite limit of time since I know that you are very talented in learning magic skills but you have to leave your school for one years." "Why? Master!" asked Ahimsaka. " It's alright I'll get you to study a super magic which is the core subject of Vishnu Munda course. You take this course only a short time; then you'll cath wiht other advanced students, " the master told. Ahimsaka, hearing that he would learn Vishnu Munda, felt very contented and then rapidly thanked his. His master, by the way, happily thought that Ahimsaka plunged into his plan. He added, "But this great course requires the Yagna ceremony ( sacrificial rituals) which needs 1000 fingers to celebrate. It means that have to kill a person than you cut his right thumb. Doing this way will make the Yagna ceremony effective." When hearing 'killing people for their right thumbs', Ahimsaka felt completely depressed and had a ringing sound in his ears because it was an act affecting to the honor of Brahmin family in general. Ahimsaka begged his master, "I couldn't kill people, Master! I am a person from the Brahmin family; I am not able to raise my hands up to do so." The Master then opened his eyes widely, furrowed his eyebrows clenched his teeth, his beard became trembled and swore at Ahimsaka, "If you can't do that, no one put your feet on his school." Ahimsaka, seeing his master clenching his teeth and staring at his like this...
