Best answer

The dream was very fearful. So the king was much worried. Nobody in his kingdom could tell him the meaning of the visions. Then an unknown old man came to the king. He was clad in robes of deer skin. He told him the clear meanings of the seven visions. First vision of flag means that the old ***** will change and new faiths will take their place.

The second vision of ten elephants means that the Prince would gain ten gifts of * wisdom. He will shake the world. The four horses of the third vision signify four fearless virtues. These virtues will help the Prince to gain knowledge. This knowledge will make the Prince wise and happy. The wheel of the fourth vision was the wheel of perfect law. The Prince would turn this wheel. Thus he would save the humanity from sorrow.

The stormy sound of the drum in fifth vision means that the Prince would teach his principles in a loud voice.

The tower of the sixth vision means that his principles will grow like the tower. The Prince would scatter the treasure of the perfect law. The people of the world would accept them and follow them.

Lastly there were six men. The Prince would show them the follies of man’* life and would give them knowledge. Thus these six disciples of the Prince will become the teachers. They will preach to the man.

In the end the hermit told the king that all of it would happen in seven days and nights. The Prince would be greater than a king. He would be a great hermit.
