My son thy education is now completed it is time for thee to see something of the world and to begin thy merchant career. A suitable opportunity has just offered itself. Within thr next few days our monarch sends an embassy to King Udena in Kosambi which lies far to the north There I have a friend named Panada with whom I have at various times exchanged hospitalities. He has long told me thatin Kosambi there is good business to be done in the products of our land particularly in rock crystals and sandal powder as also in artistic wicker-work and woven goods.
