Mahosadha, the Warrior for Peace

The book is about wisdom, war and peace. It depicts the life of a prodigious child, growing up, leading a happy marriage, and serving king and country. He worked hard with a high sense of responsibility, courage, care and diligence, focusing on the value of human life, and the need for justice and peace. A born leader, he prevailed over the well-established adult sages as they worked to destroy him. But he was magnanimous, as shown in the episodes of the Battles of the Sages, inspiring the ancient people for his courage and wit. One of his notable dictums: Anger in men of wisdom can never be justified . He saw anger as a destroyer of harmony and happiness among people. Mahosadha fought as Chief Commander of Mithila with incomparable courage against huge imperial forces of Pancla. In short, by dint of hard work, foresight, thorough preparation, and careful stratagems, he was able to drive the enemy away with a small force of arms, and went on to win a durable peace. He worked for brotherhood and peace among peoples and nations, not for power or self-enrichment. He won love and respect of all the kings and peoples of Jambudipa.
