Part 14: Conquest of Khaṇḍaprapātā by Sagara

Then, his power unbroken, he went to Khaṇḍaprapātā in the southern direction by the path indicated by the cakra. He set his camp near Khaṇḍaprapātā and made a three days’ fast directed toward Nāṭyamālaka. At the end of the three days’ fast, knowing (his coming) from the shaking of his throne, like the head of a village Nāṭyamāla approached the King with presents. He gave various and numerous ornaments to the Cakravartin and promised service like a respectful king. Sagara dismissed him and immediately after the fast-breaking joyfully held an eight-day festival for him, like a recompense for what he had done.
