"Vandiya Deva, I know you to be a brave man. At the
same time I trust you to be intelligent and give you this
immense responsibility. Of the two letters I have given
you, deliver one to my father the Emperor and the other to
my sister the Younger Pirati. (Pirati is the term used to
refer to princesses of the ruling house.) I hear all sorts of
rumors about even the senior officials of the kingdom in
Tanjore. Therefore, the contents of my letters should not
become known to anyone. Even the most eminent persons
should not realize that you are carrying letters from me. Do
not get into quarrels with anyone on the way. You should
not merely avoid conflicts of your seeking; but also not be
involved in disputes thrust upon you. I very well know
about your courage. You have proved it several times.
Therefore, there shall be no loss of valor in escaping from
duels forced upon you. Most important, you should be
particularly careful about the Lords of Pazluvoor and also
my Young Uncle Madurandaka. I do not wish them to
know even who you are! They should definitely not know
why you are going!"
The Crown Prince of the Chozla Empire and the
Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Armies, Prince
Aditya Karikala had told him all this.
