"May you have the wisdom of Amāra, the wisdom of Mahāsāta, the peace of mind of Vesāna, the beauty of Visakha, the strength of Moggallāna...".
The Book of War and Defense against Invading Enemies (Peāla Kingdom or Pēla Kingdom)
"Akkamahaṇapadī Bandī Preah Mahāsāta"
1. The learned Brahmin Lāmopāyas
Written in the northern region to enter the kingdom ruled by King Choni, because according to the Brahmin Lāmopāyas, he used military power to conquer 101 kingdoms and bring them under his control. The Brahmin Kevadda and King Choni agreed that one day they would organize a ritual to wash the food and put poison in the wine to break the 101 kings of the kingdom, and then take the wealth and power of the kingdom and become the king of the entire continent. Not satisfied, the Brahmin Kevadda instructed the King Choni and the King Ranapa to raise an army of about 18 aktaaphinis to finally destroy the kingdom of Mithilaka.
The king learned of the war strategy of the king Choni through the incitement of the Brahmin Kevadda through the faithful messenger Seksarika, who brought the news to Rayarap in detail. This news made King Vitehara and the four priests afraid and prepared to find a way to escape to safety, not worrying about solving the crisis of the kingdom. The king Mahosa assured that he would solve this problem without causing danger to the army and causing disaster to the people and the kingdom.
2- Wise measures of King Mahosa against the enemy
King Mahosa was the commander of the entire defense force, prepared a large amount of food and had soldiers guard the gates of the kingdom and prepared military equipment for the defense towers without any gaps.
When King Choni and his 101 followers surrounded the kingdom of Mithila at a distance of 7 yojanas, King Mahosa announced a festival in the kingdom, where the soldiers and people would sing and dance happily without worrying about any danger. This news made King Choni and his followers confused, so King Mahosa raised his army and entered the kingdom of Mithila. King Mahosa ordered his army to climb the ramparts, throw stones and spears at King Choni's army, close the gates of the kingdom tightly, and have his soldiers shout mockingly to discourage them, saying, "You are hungry or not, but you are trying to fight and you will eat delicious food together in the kingdom." King Choni's soldiers were discouraged by such mockery and lost their strength to fight. King Choni ordered his army to retreat for a while and asked the Brahmin priest Kevadda for advice on a new strategy to discourage King Mahosa's army. The priest advised him to change his strategy to a threatening one, because there was plenty of food. At that time, Choni wrote a letter with arrows and shot them into the surrounding area of the kingdom of Mithila. He said that he would drain all the water from the kingdom, cut off the water, cut off the firewood, and starve the poor if they did not surrender. King Mahosat showed his power to fight back by having his army scatter rice fields growing green along the fort's head and cutting down trees to form a tall pillar that protruded from the walls of the kingdom. When the idea could not break the unity of King Mahosat's army, King Choni and his entourage decided to lead the army back to their own kingdom. But the Brahman Kevadda stopped them and used "Dhamma Yudh" to negotiate and capture King Mahosat in order to break the pillar of command of the army. The Brahman Kevadda wrote a letter to the royal envoy to King Viteharacha to meet and negotiate, offering wealth, weapons, and food in exchange for friendship and power. King Mahosat received the task according to the idea of "Dhamma Yudh" of the teacher Kevadda Brahman outside the western wall of the kingdom.
🧘🏻♀️Preparing a strategy to resist the enemy's invasion📚
"Akkamahasenapadi Bandit Preah Mahosath"
After receiving the title of Akmahasenapadi from the king.
1- Preah Mahosath united the interior of the kingdom of Mithila to have a united mind from the top to the bottom, resolved the 19 problems for the people facing various crises (a single sense of patriotism). The Bodhisattva taught or encouraged the 4 monks who had opposed him to come and help develop the kingdom, and instilled nationalism to fight against King Chollani who planned an invasion. (King Chollani and the kings of 101 kingdoms)
2- Preah Mahosath organized the army in an organized manner, had a comprehensive strategy, and prepared enough food for the battle. For the war with King Chollani, the king of the kingdom of Uttara, Preah Mahosath used wisdom to resolve all obstacles that arose peacefully.
3- The king used intelligence combined with strategy in warfare to gain victory over the enemy and used all kinds of methods such as building walls, digging ponds around them, raising crocodiles, having small and large gates with enough weapons and ammunition to prevent enemy invasion at any time.
4- Sent Seksom Bandit (spy-spy) to further intelligence called spies.
Political espionage is the act of stealing sensitive information about the political, economic or military activities of a government. It is a form of intelligence gathering that is often illegal and abusive.
How does it work?
-Spies, secret agents or illegal surveillance devices are used to obtain information
-Spies can access the place where the information is stored or the people who know it.
-Spies can use tricks or subterfuge to obtain information
Why is it a concern?
-Espionage can be a threat to national security and the prosperity of a country.
-Espionage can be used to influence democratic institutions and the electoral process.
-Espionage can be used to gain an advantage over a competitor.
How is it handled?
-Countries have laws against espionage.
-Companies use espionage to protect their trade secrets.
-Intelligence officers use training, patience, and empathy to select spies.
5-The king was informed and was ready.
The reserve force was prepared to protect, increase weapons, and food supplies to last for many years, and people were sent to hide along the border.
6- King Mahosa used secret communication with the enemy to steal various technical information and information to give to him.
7- Another good trick that King Mahosa always did was to get the support of the king and the scholars. King Mahosa saved the 101 kings from the evil plan of King Chola. He told the kings of the 101 kingdoms that he had saved the lives of these kings many times, and like that time, he had people go to knock over and break the dishes and glasses at a banquet where King Chola believed, according to the Brahman priest Kevadda, that he wanted to eliminate all the kings in the universe and the continent by poisoning them. King Chola also recognized his mistake towards the kings of the 101 kingdoms. King Chollani agreed to give all his royal property to Mahasatha, but the Bodhisattva refused. (Conquer without fighting)
8- Mahasatha had a trench dug (a trench, a cave dug in the ground or in the mountains as a walking path) to free King Viteharaja when he was traveling to marry his daughter, Chollani, who had committed many mistakes due to her cleverness.
9- Psychological warfare Later, the monk Kevadda Prahaana started a war with Dharma, asking Mahasatha about the Dharma. When the Buddha went out to fight, the monk Kevadda saw him and immediately asked, "My Buddha, I have been here for a long time. Why don't you, a young man, do what is appropriate for me?" Or do you think the glass is so valuable? The Bodhisattva replied, "Do you want this glass?" The monk replied, "Yes, if you give it to me, I will take it." The monk bowed his head and took the glass from the Buddha's feet. He then trampled the Buddha's neck to the ground and shouted, "Why have you come to worship me, a young man?" He was chased away by the Buddha and his mother. As for the Chollani, the Buddha's soldiers, who were afraid and scattered, fled. Just because of this, the entire army of the Chollani army fled (disbanded).
Then the Bodhisattva brought King Chollani and King 101 to see him. King Chollani praised the Bodhisattva's wisdom and vowed not to harm each other.
Meanwhile, the kings of the 101 kingdoms also paid homage and expressed their joy that the Bodhisattva had given them life.
10- Using a cunning plan to make peace: When they fled to their kingdom, King Chollani and the monk Kevadda Prahana planned a cunning plan to take their daughter Panchachanthi to King Vitehara as a wife in order to capture him and King Mahasatha and kill him. However, King Mahasatha found out in advance through intelligence (using wisdom or diplomatic wisdom as a weapon), and defeated King Chollani without having to fight, with the death of both soldiers and without the need for the people to suffer. King Chollani asked for his life and sent the kingdoms, large and small, to the Bodhisattva to rule and take care of them all.
11- Using diplomatic methods, King Mahasatha ordered them to build a two-tiered wall around the kingdom. He sent officials to work with the kings of 101 kingdoms to gather information in case any king wanted to invade other kingdoms. Therefore, it can be said that wisdom is a weapon to solve all problems and enemies in all directions without sacrificing many lives. Such warfare made the enemy surrender unconditionally and even gave the Bodhisattva a reward.
12- Behind the success of the great man Rattana, there were wives who helped him (Praeha Mahasatha had Queen Amara and King Jayavarman VII had Jayarajadevi and Indradevi; Techomeas-Techoyot had Queen Sreen).
The king appointed Praeha Mahasatha as the general of the army and sacrificed many properties to become a great sage at that time. King Chollani asked for his life and sent the kingdoms, small and large, to be ruled by the Bodhisattva.
The great king Ratna returned to the kingdom of Mithila. King Vitehara rushed to embrace the great man and told him about his salvation and peace through the wisdom of all the kings.
She gave birth to a son, Napotkhena Koma, the son of King Vitehara. He also died and his son succeeded him as king. And the Bodhisattva received power over all the people and all the officials in the entire land, and lived in peace forever.
The Mahasatha is a symbol of peace and security.
The Mahasatha prepared a fortress with high technology, many secret places, intelligence - strong wisdom - victory.
If you can bear it, you must bear it. If you can't bear it, you must continue to bear it.
Praha Mahosathi defeated an enemy army of 16 Akkopini with the power of wisdom.
Praha Mahosathi, the wise and wise advisor of King Viteha, was not a traditional warrior, but a supreme warrior with wisdom, patience, and intelligence. He was a great man of wonder, renowned for his ability to solve complex problems and conflicts fairly.
Praha Mahosathi's main qualities include:
1. Wisdom and intelligence: He could solve difficult problems with clever solutions.
2. Patience and forbearance: He endured threats and jealousy without anger.
3. Compassion and justice: He used his intelligence to protect the innocent.
4. Moral courage: He was steadfast in his beliefs and truth, even when threatened.
Preah Mahosat, the great commander of the kingdom of Viteh, was able to resist the invasion of 101 other kingdoms because of his unity and nationalistic spirit. The summary of the Ten Commandments is the work of Dr. Maha Chhim Som, a former professor at Buddhist University, Preah Suramrit High School in 1959. In ancient times, "Preah Mahosat was a symbol of peace and security" because the god
Mahasatha used wisdom and strategy in warfare to win. In modern times, Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen and Samdech Maha Baworthipdei Hun Manet have been using “wisdom and strategy in warfare to win” against the Siamese invaders. In particular, Samdech Techo used a common language of “patience and trust” in the government, which is to avoid large-scale damage and loss.
If you do not find God, sacrifice the army. The army is a fighter, a shield of happiness in the country. Mahasatha Bodhisattva is a witness.
The Buddha said in a sutra that a soldier, a person living as a soldier, must have four qualities in order to be a king or a hero of the army, to win the war successfully. The four elements of virtue are:
1_ Thankaslo: Being wise in the battlefield, meaning that the trenches and positions of the army must be prepared firmly and with the utmost care, confident and safe, because it is a position where one must fight to the death with the enemy, having a strong mind, being alert, calm but sharp, brave, having a sharp will, and focusing on the target. This is the discipline of a warrior.
2_ Ture Bati: Being wise in shooting from a distance, meaning that one must know how to use weapons, fight at the right time, shoot, which weapon should be used to shoot close up, which weapon should be used to shoot from a distance. If one is not wise, even our weapons can kill us.
3_ Akhn Veti: Being a straight shooter, meaning that one has experience, ability, is good at shooting guns or is good at commanding to shoot accurately at the enemy's position or the location of the arsenal, and most importantly, is straight and well-aimed.
4_ Bhato Kayas Pataletha Hoti: Being a shooter who can destroy a large army, meaning that one can shoot and destroy the enemy, making them terrified. Unable to resist, especially the great commander. If the army possesses these four qualities, it is a great army hero, capable of winning wars and succeeding in all tasks.
He compared this to winning a worldly war, the Tathagata won a dharma war with the king of Mara.
_The location of the village victory is morality, a strong trench, a glorious location, the greeting of the ascetic.
_A long-range shooter, insight, and wisdom, who clearly knows the nature of the paramita in the form of the paramita and the name of the paramita.
_A straight shooter, who is straight, pierces, and clearly understands the four noble truths.
_A shooter who breaks down a large army is ignorance, a great commander with the strength of the path of enlightenment. This is the way to win the war from the king of Mara, who has a large army.
I wish the leaders and brave soldiers success in all tasks.
Bhikkhu Dhammathero
