Having therefore stormed the (enemy's) castle I will take you, in a short time, to the Vindhya Mountain, accompanied with glory and power. The king asked - How can this be achieved now with the small force (at our command)? The Vulture said - My lord, everything will be accomplished. Because in the case of a conqueror promptness of action is the guarantee for the accomplishment of success. Let the gates of the castle then be blocked up at once. After this, the spy, crane came to Hiranyagarbha and told him - Sire, king Chitravarna relying on the advice of the Vulture, small as his army, is, is going to blockade the castle-gates. The royal Swan said - Sarvajna, what is to be done now? Chakravaka replied - Let the discrimination of strong and weak men in our army be made. On that being known let presents of gold, garments and the like be made, as marks of royal favour, according to merit. For, the goddess of wealth never leaves him, the lion among kings, who saves even a cowri from being ill-spent, as if it were worth a thousand coins of gold but spends in crores with a liberal hand on proper occasions.
