Kings from other kingdoms across 'Aryabarta' were already offended with King Shailendra for some of his past behaviours to the others; now this 'Night Expedition' of his little sister put everyone's flame directly into gasoline, large enough to burst into turmoil. A war could have been raged upon any time soon, but King Dashapal himself stood fast into the matter and expressed his remonstrance against the war. Father to two sons King Dashapal begged everybody on his knees to avoid war at any cost; King Shailendra hurled into the Monastery of sage Vaibashyata from South, he begged for mercy to King Dashapal and rest of the Kings present there. But, if there is the commencement of a crime then redressal is a must duty for sure! So, what to do now? The jurisdiction was transferred into the capable hands of Rampal, the elder son to King Dashapal.
I already mentioned that Rampal was a wit, clever and pragmatic person in reality; he grabbed the opportunity to warn Shailendra at once. In that same jurisdiction chamber that was formed into the Monastery of Sage Vaibashyata, he made his decision quickly and it was immediately granted without any remonstrance. What it was? In front of the eyes of King Shailendra, in front of sage Vaibashyata, in front of his father Dashapal and many eyes present into the same judgment room, he amputated the nose of Bibhutika first; and then holding that chopped off nose in his bloodstained hand, he warned Shailendra that next time this kind of aggression will result in chopping off with the head of someone! Everybody present in the same courtroom appreciated his move. It seemed that ideologically Rampal was able to bring all the Nations under the shade of a common umbrella indeed.
After this disgraceful and shameful eventdishonoured King Shailendra was disappointed for some prolonged days andremained silent. The moment he witnessed the amputated nose of his belovedsister, the moment he became a crook person; burning into flames of anger!Steer away the part of 'lust for women' from this character for a few moments;apart from it, Shailendra was a Liberal, independent and a pragmatic king. Hewas popular among his subjects; the most important factor is his subjects had aprofound loyalty to their King in return. They wanted King Shailendra to havehis vengeance upon his enemies, but Shailendra knew that the job is not an easytask to accomplish. If you have any question regarding the loyalty of thesubjects to King Shailendra then I recommend you to have a look into the bodywith three arrows in it, and you will get your answer!
Let's come to the point why any kind of frontal assault or invasion on 'Ayodhya' was considered to be next to the impossible!
The first point is – its far-stretched vastness! It is a large kingdom itself, larger enough to be conquered within months. Hence, this will result in the need of formation of a larger army and sufficient supply to sustain with in a long term war. This involves enhanced casualties, multiplied number of wounded soldiers; moreover, result of this insane madness? In the past, Shailendra's father Damodar marched for 'Ayodhya' twice leading greater Armed Forces; but the result was unresolved for either side in both the cases! Moreover, the curse of plague and artificial famine in the kingdom had taken away a lot of innocent civilian lives too who had nothing to do with the war!
The second point is – the legendary booby-traps and security measurement of 'Ayodhya'. Marching to enemies with a greater Army ended up in vain, disappointing result due to this point. Gateway to the capital of 'Ayodhya' is a Utopian dream; the supposed invincible 'non-Aryan' army marching for 'Aryan' capital was practically demolished to half in number even before it could reach the outer-fences to the city! No one was sure what will happen next; where the soil beneath the feet will tear apart, or hot boiling oil or heavy, hard rock stones or boulders will rain upon the advancing army troop, or they will step over an innocent hay on the ground and in the next moment a tree trunk will demolish the unfortunate soldier who stepped over it incautious! Cunning citizens of 'Ayodhya' is famous in setting booby-traps for the invaders.
The third point is – Mass support. Everybody is aware of his lust for Revathi; now the aggression of Bibhutika added spice to the recipe. Every single king in 'Aryabarta' is now united ideologically to stand firm against Southern invasion, in support to King Dashapal. This means to war against the entire Aryan race! In reality, it is impossible to win the war unless the Kingdoms in the South, that means, non-Aryans are united together.But, how?
