killing of animals in the forest. Soon he orders clearing of forest land for cultivation &
declares that food so produced will be his weapon. The neighboring king of
Kalinga, on knowing about absence of real weapons in Gujar’s army, decides to
attack Gujar and imprisons the king. But the king is freed by his subjects ,
cultivators and simple people, who use whatever implements they find in home as
weapons.
