The invaders were standing just outside the University
walls, ready to wreck havoc and unleash their wrath at anything that was
against their religion. Their numbers measured in thousands. Foot soldiers,
horse riders, elephants, exotic beasts from the African continent and ferocious
wolves with sharpened claws.
I looked around at our resistance, a mere hundred
royal guards and 1233 university scholars. But this was not time to be
dejected. The book assured us that strength in the time of adversity is the mark
of a true yogi. We had discipline, training, resources like food and weapons.
But most importantly we had, what was more potent than a million such armies.
We had the power of the Gods. We had the Brahmastra.
