องค์สุดท้ายปัญญา Riddle of the Giant Sea Crab: Upon his return from the Royal Park, King Mahajanaka reflected on his sevenday ordeal in the ocean, and recalled the feeling of being partially supported by a hard surface underneath his feet. Sometimes I felt like I was treading on the sea floor, like I was near the shore.... In fact, it was the Giant Sea Crab, the king tells the Brahmin. Thinking about the uprooted mango tree and the goddess Mani Mekhalas advice to him to set up an institute of high learning named Pudalay Mahavijjalaya, King Mahajanaka decided the time had come to do so. The linking of the mysterious marine creature to education emphasizes the importance of knowledge or wisdom in solving problems. Prince Mahajanaka resting on the creature is like being supported by the strength of ones knowledge. Saddened by the fate of the mango tree, Mahajanaka realized the utter ignorance of his people. He said: `From the Viceroy down to the elephant mahouts and the horse handlers, and up from the horse handlers to the Viceroy, and especially the courtiers; All are ignorant. They lack not only the technical knowledge but also common knowledge, ie. common sense: they do not even know what is good for them. ......... youtube/watch?v=C20qKgh5BFQ
