The kingdom of Brahmadatta was the first to be conquered by Udayana (king of Vatsa) during his campaign of conquering the whole earth.
Accordingly, in order to obstruct king Udayana in his campaign, “Then the minister of Brahmadatta, ³Û´Ç²µ²¹°ì²¹°ù²¹á¹‡á¸²¹°ì²¹, laid snares in the path of the King of Vatsa as he advanced. He tainted, by means of poison and other deleterious substances, the trees, flowering creepers, water and grass all along the line of march. And he sent poison damsels as dancing-girls among the enemy’s host, and he also dispatched nocturnal assassins into their midst.â€�
