We have heard that in days of yore, when prince Kshemadarshin had become weak in strength and fallen into great distress, he went to the sage Kalakavrikshiva and saluting him humbly, said him these words,
क्षेमदर्शी नृपसुतो यत्र क्षीणबलः पुरा। मुनि कालकवृक्षीयमाजगामेति नः श्रुतम्। तं पप्रच्छानुसंगृह्य कृच्छ्रामापदमास्थितः॥
