1. Our ancient kings, always tried untiringly to save the country from foreigners. In this attempt, some had to sacrifice even their lives. Prince Keerti, loved to listen to these heroic stories from his mother. He thought of them and wanted to learn the art of warfare well. By about 1038 AD, Prince Keerti was 13 years old. By this time, he was well known in the locality, as a clever archer. The prince did not stop at that. He mastered the art of riding on elephant-back and also horse riding. He learnt to handle the sword skillfully.
