Thus begins the legendary tale recounted by the alert and wise elder, Shahu. He spoke of an exalted king of India named Jomhur, a monarch endowed with mighty armies, vast treasure, and magnificent fortune, whose renown for chivalry and justice resonated across every realm. His kingdom spanned from Kashmir to the very borders of China, and all praised his righteous governance. King Jomhur sat upon a royal throne carved of sandalwood, ruling over all subjects—civilians, courtiers, and soldiers alike—with immense wisdom and honor. He was wedded to a noble queen of royal blood, virtuous and brilliant. In time, this blessed union bore a noble son who mirrored his majestic father. Upon beholding the newborn prince, the king joyfully named him Gav.
