Like that King of Kosala namely Bhanumanta, and the King of Magadha, a brave one and a profound one in all scriptural knowledge, let them be honoured well and be invited. [1-13-26]
And Praaptijna, the king of Magadha, the kind-hearted and best one among kings, be well honoured and invited. Further, taking the orders of King Dasharatha and motivated by those orders, the kings of Sindhu, Sauviira and Sauraastra kingdoms may also be invited. [1-13-27]
"All of the kings of southern kingdoms be invited, and should there be any other friends and other friendly kings on the surface of the earth,.....- [1-13-28]
- they too shall be invited as early as possible with all their followers, relatives through highly illustrious envoys, of course with the orders of our king." (Thus Sage Vashishta said to minister Sumantra). [1-13-29]
