Dighavu gripped his sword and drew it slowly from its sheath. He pointed the blade at the throat of Brahmadatta. And then there came to him the words of his father. Be not longsighted. Not by violence is violence ended.
Violence is ended by non violence.
The sword of Dighavu trembled. He drew it slowly away and replaced it in its sheath. Brahmadatta breathed heavily and opened wide his eyes and sat up in alarm. It is a dream that often plagues me. I see Dighavu, the son of my enemies, coming at me with his sword to avenge his parents.
