The King said, “Those who truly love God, they have no interest in trifle things of the world. I, today, swear to prove my words.”
Soldiers, Let's Move!

King Dridhavrata of the kingdom of Travancore (southern half of modern Kerala province, in southwest India) did not have any child. Intense prayers were made to propitiate Lord Narayana, who is said to have been pleased and thus blessed the king with a saintly son. The child was named as Kulashekhara. The prince was educated in all the arts of war and government. Besides this, he was also provided with the learning from the Vedas and other sacred texts. When the prince grew up to the right age, Dridhavrata enthroned him as the king and he himself retired to the forest to pursue a life of renunciation.

Kulasekara was a mighty king, whose internal administration was an exemplary model of justice and righteousness. Peace and happiness prevailed in his kingdom. However, besides all these traits which were worth admiration, the king considered himself to be self-dependent and all-powerful, thus denying the need of any God in life. He had a worldly mindset and remained surrounded by the illusions and delusions of materialism.
