King Chetaka was a devout follower of Mahavira and had a vow to not shoot more than one arrow per day in a war. Thus all together there were 57000 elephants, 57000 chariots, 57000 horses, and 570000 infantrymen. All these kings came with 3000 horses, 3000 elephants, 3000 chariots and 30000 infantrymen each. On the other hand, Chetaka invited his own allies 9 Mallas, 9 Lichhvis and 18 kings of Kasi-Kosala to fight his grandson Ajatashatru.

Each Kalakumara brought 3000 horses, 3000 elephants, 3000 chariots and 30000 infantrymen each. He called his half brothers, Kalakumaras (10 kalakumaras, those born to King Bimbisara and 10 Kali Queens Kali, Sukali, Mahakali, etc.) to merge their army with his, since it was well known to Ajatashatru that Vaishali republic had always been invincible in the past and he alone would not be able to defeat it. Ajatashatru sent notice thrice to Chetaka to surrender them but was denied by Chetaka. Meanwhile, Halla and the Vihalla kumaras availed a chance and escaped to their maternal grandfather Chetaka who was the king of the great kingdom of the Vaishali republic (Vajjis/ Lichchavis). This greatly annoyed him, so he sent his men to arrest them. Ajatashatru, at last, agreed and sent a request to both his brothers to give the elephant and the necklace to him, which both his brothers denied saying that these gifts were given by their dear father so why should they part from them? Ajatashatru sent the request thrice but got the same reply all three times. So, she shared this thought with Ajatashatru the same night and became excessively insistent in her demand. Then she heard one of the maidservants making from the garden below "It's Halla and Vihalla kumaras and not the king who enjoy the real pleasures of the kingdom" and she thought "what's the use of the kingdom if I do not have both the jewels in my possession?" She saw Halla and Vihalla kumaras with their wives sitting on Sechanaka elephant and one of the wives wearing the 18 fold divine necklace. Once Queen Padmavati, wife of Ajatashatru, was sitting in her balcony in the evening. The feud between Ajatashatru and Licchavi (clan) during 484–468 BCE led to defeat of the latter. In the Buddhist Atthakatha, the above story is almost the same, except that Kosaladevi desired to drink blood from Bimbisara's arm the king obliged her and, later, when the child was thrown near the garbage dump, due to an infection he got a boil on his little finger and the king sucked it and once while sucking it the boil burst inside the king's mouth, but due to affection for his child he did not spit the pus out, rather swallowed it. As the little finger of the child was sore, he was nicknamed Kunika "Sore Finger". King Bimbisara, learning about the child being thrown out, ran outside and picked up the child and put its bleeding little finger in his mouth and sucked it until it stopped bleeding and continued this for days until it was healed. When the child was lying near the garbage dump, a cock bit his little finger.

The queen ate it and later felt ashamed for having such a demonic desire and she feared that the child might grow up and prove fatal for the family, thus after a few months of the child being born, the queen had him thrown out of the palace. Meanwhile, the very intelligent Prince Abhayakumara, son of King Bimbisara and Queen Nanda, fried a wild fruit that resembled a heart and gave it to the queen. It is worthwhile to note that both the queens were called "Vaidehi" in both the traditions.Īccording to the Jain Nirayavalika Sutra, during her pregnancy Queen Chelna had strong desire to eat fried flesh of her husband's heart and drink liquor. According to Jainism, Ajatashatru was born to King Bimbisara and Queen Chelna Buddhist tradition records Ajatashatru being born to Bimbisara and Kosala Devi. The account of Ajatashatru's birth is more or less similar in both the traditions. The ancient inscription in Government Museum, Mathura refers to him as vaidehi putra Ajatashatru Kunika "Ajatashatru Kunika, the son of Vaidehi." The story of Ajatashatru is found in the Tripiṭaka of Buddhism and Jain Agamas. Painting depicting Ajatashatru visiting the Buddha to assuage his guiltĪjatashatru, also known as Kunika, was the son of Bimbisara.
