Chapter 187: Nobility, Inheritance, Election Part :1

Dakshin Bhartiya Empire, satavahana state ( Maharashtra ) Amravati City.

Near the Ancient Shri Ambadevi Temple in Amravati, there is a monk dressed in white overalls adorned with a Mupatti, a white mask worn by Jain followers to prevent accidental harm to microbes in the air. This monk is named Kishore Balabhadra, standing at 5 feet 8 inches tall with a lean build reminiscent of a strong farmer. Originally born into a noble family, Kishore faced neglect due to being a bastard conceived from a lower-caste woman. Initially harbouring anger for being disregarded, his life took a turn when his mother noticed his unusual mood swings. Concerned, she took him to a Jain monk named Jagannath Varma. Under Varma's teachings and care, Kishore relinquished his obsession with revenge and embraced the path of a Jain monk. His disinterest in familial ties persisted, especially after the passing of his mother due to a strange illness and his master due to old age.
