About eight hundred Artapurana soldiers lined up neatly in the wide field, on the left side of the palace. Each rides a horse, is divided into eight groups, and is led by a commander in each group.
One of the three admirals who had previously objected to Pramudya Antaguna about the king's desire to attack Nan Sarunai while in the royal hall this morning was giving directions to the eight hundred soldiers.
After that, the soldiers lined up neatly leaving the Artapurana Palace, each group heading in a different direction, towards the eight cardinal directions. Their task is to ensure that every resident in every village they will pass will submit and obey Pramudya Antaguna as the king who controls Jawadwipa.
