SAKYA PARAKA: THE LIBERATOR

I Saved Them Not You

In the morning, Sakya and Shrie are ready to open a treatment table in Lokapatti square.

An old man was waiting while holding his sick grandson. The residents of Lokapatti who need new treatment began to arrive, while others, they came just to watch.

"Please save my grandson Vaidya. He's all I have." Grandpa knelt before Shrie while shedding tears. "I've got nothing for pay I'll give up my soul and body." Then she hugged Shrie's leg.

"Build cake! You don't have to pay. By the power of Ekadeva, I will try to heal your grandson." Shrie answered while trying to establish Grandpa.

"Are you here for treatment too?" shrie asked the people who came.

"Yes, Vaidya." They answer. While the only ones wanting to see the magic Shrie started to retreat backwards.

"Vaidya Shrie, you can heal them at once. We don't have much time." Suddenly Sakya speaks behind Shrie. Shrie nodded her head.

"Bratha and attika who are sick, come closer. By the power of Ekadeva I will heal you all" Shrie told the residents of Lokapatti.

Those who were sick began to temporarily docked who wanted to look more and more backward while whispering, "Curing all at once? how great is this Ekadeva." Some hesitated, while others were silent, filled with curiosity.

“Oh ... Ekadeva,” 'bush' Shrie releases a prana resembling a blowing wind then the prana begins to envelop the sick population.

“God of all gods

The ruler of all living beings

Who rules life and death

Listen to the request wholeheartedly

Oh .. ekadeva

Give me strength

Extend life

A servant of Thy who is full of weakness.”

　

By the time Shrie finished singing the prayer, the not-so-severe inhabitants such as the toothache, head, and wounds had already healed. While those who are seriously ill such as injured internal organs take a little longer. They feel a little bit of itching the part that feels pain, but they remain silent because the longer, the pain decreases and disappears.

When they feel as healthy as ever some of them cry. Only the gods know their suffering. How it feels to live with the pain in each breath. Now they are free, free to sleep well, move and live longer with their families.

"Thank you Vaidya Shrie." They knelt down and were grateful for this gift.  They know none of their gifts are worth it to Shrie. What is worth their lives? Not even with a piece of gemstone. In the end, only sincere thanks can they give.

Unfortunately the celebration of their new life must come to an end. Hundreds of soldiers came from all over, and the Mara balapati was in the rear row. Sitting on a white horse with his pride.

The Lokapatti soldiers besieged Shrie and Sakya. All the residents instantly retreated and disappeared behind the incoming soldiers.

"The two of you were arrested on behalf of Balapati Mara for violating the laws of the city of Lokapatti. Therefore, you will be hanged this afternoon in front of the city gates." The soldier named Yasa spoke out loudly.

"You didn't learn from yesterday? No matter how many of you, Ekadeva will protect us. Go!" Sakya warns the soldiers that are there.

"Soldiers catch them, if you fight you can kill them instantly!" Yasa who was next to Mara's balapati gave the order.

The soldier with the spear and shield started advancing in unison with a neat row towards Shrie and Sakya.

Shrie then sang a prayer.

I am Your weak servant

Help me from those who are proud

Show me your mighty power

Kneel!”

　

　

The advancing ranks of soldiers suddenly fell to their knees. The soldiers felt a heavy pressure on his shoulders, like being hit by a huge rock. They gritted their teeth, tried to lift but, they could not lift what they could not see, could only use both of his hands to help restrain his body. Sweat began to pour, hands began to tremble due to fatigue.

While they were still holding back with all their might, Shrie approached. "Stop away!" said it.

Then the soldiers felt something hit them, invisible yet real, they bounced back and rolled. Fear began to be seen on the faces of the soldiers who were starting to try to get up. Blood started to drip on their noses. What the hell's going on? What just hit my face?

Shrie stood in the square quietly. He knows what's going on. Sakya behind him had already spread her prana around the town square. With the prana Sakya can do anything.

For people who have not opened their chakra points, they cannot feel the prana around them as well as the soldiers. That made them very afraid. How do we fight something that we don't know its shape?

Unfortunately not all soldiers felt his fear. "Arrow squad ready!" Yasa's orders echoed in the Lokapatti square. The archer line advanced one step then prepared his bow and arrows. "Foot!"

‘Set’ Dozens of arrows shot. But before reaching Shrie and Sakya, dozens of arrows stopped like they were hitting an invisible wall. Then one by one they fall on the ground.

"Shoot again!" Yasa gave the order again when his first attempt failed.

As the archer began to attach arrows to his bow, a voice rang out, "Stop! Duke Sena arrived."

A group of soldiers arrived. They march in two rows. In the midst of them walked quietly a forty-year-old man. His hair was shoulder-length with a headband made of skin. There was a half-body robe that adorned the clothes on his body.

"Stop everyone! Balapati, you can take all your soldiers home" said the man.

"Duke Sena, they're dangerous. Let me kill him" replied Balapati Mara, to the man who turned out to be the Duke of Sena.

"If they're dangerous, there's definitely a lot of bodies lying here. I don't see a body here. Go then! Carry out my orders" said the Duke of Sena.

"They hurt my son and the pandita Sava. They have to pay. What's the reason you took them from me?" Balapati Mara refuses to back down.

"Don't forget who you're talking to! Do I need a reason to take them? Aida can heal your son. Go!" shouted the duke of Sena.

"Huh, Alright Yasa pull the troops!" Balapati Mara turned her face away, then gave orders to Yasa. Not long after, Yasa's voice echoed in Lokapatti square, "revolt troops!"

At once the troops began to retreat, some holding their comrades still lying on the ground.

After the empty square of the Balapati Mara warriors, the Duke of Sena said to Shrie and Sakya, "Hide you fulfill this old man's invitation. I promise there won't be any danger to you both." He bowed slightly, then invited Shrie and Sakya in the direction he pointed. There was a carriage waiting for them at the end of the square.

"Why did you save us?" Sakya asked the Duke before stepping forward.

"You're wrong. I saved them instead of you, ha ha ha" the duke of Sena argued.

"But, let's talk at the town hall where I'm resting, let's ..," the Duke of Sena took, and led them to the chariot. While he rode his own horse.
