The Sharpshooting Archer

In a distant land, there was a king celebrated for his fairness and kindness.

He had a wise and handsome son named Asadrisa, meaning “matchless.”

Later, the king and queen welcomed another son, and both princes were cherished by their parents.

When Asadrisa turned sixteen, the king sent him to study with a great teacher.

He learned archery, the three Vedas, and various arts. Upon returning home, he was recognized as a talented archer.

As time passed, the king aged and believed it was time for Asadrisa to ascend the throne, with his younger brother serving as deputy.

However, Asadrisa chose to step aside, allowing his brother to become king.

Asadrisa chose to live humbly in the palace.

Unfortunately, when the king passed away.

Asadrisa’s brother and the ministers grew resentful of him, ultimately forcing him to leave the kingdom.

Asadrisa traveled to a distant kingdom and met the king there.

“Great king, I am a skilled archer seeking to serve your kingdom.”

Impressed by his confidence, the king appointed him chief commander of the army.

This made the other skilled archers in the kingdom angry.

The rivalry intensified as they awaited their chance to undermine him.

One day, while in his garden resting under a mango tree.

The king asked his best archers if they could shoot down a ripe mango hanging above.

They confidently replied, “Your Majesty, it’s an easy task for us. Why not let the new archer try?”

The king then called upon Asadrisa, asking if he could bring down the mango in a single shot.

Asadrisa replied, “Yes, Your Majesty! But I need some space.”

The king asked, “Where do you need the space?” Asadrisa replied, “Where is your bed right now?”

The king had the bed removed to make space for him.

Asadrisa then asked, “Should I shoot upwards at the mango or downwards?

The king replied, “I’ve never seen anyone shoot downwards with an arrow, so aim that way.”

Asadrisa drew his bow and shot the arrow upward, piercing the mango’s stem.

As it fell, a loud cracking noise echoed, startling those nearby. Some feared the arrow might fall on them.

Asadrisa deftly caught both the arrow and the mango in his hands. The crowd marveled at his extraordinary skill.

The king rewarded him with wealth and honor.

Days later, Asadrisa learned that his brother’s kingdom was under attack by a powerful enemy.

He sought permission from his current king to assist and rushed to his brother’s palace.

He assured his brother that he would support him in the battle.

Leading the charge, Asadrisa fought valiantly, defeating many enemy soldiers and causing their king to retreat in fear.

He had saved his homeland.

Realizing his earlier mistakes, his younger brother offered Asadrisa the throne.

Asadrisa declined once again, choosing to return to his role in the faraway kingdom.
