The king was cocky. At the very beginning of the tale, he was called formidable, since he fought a lot from his youth and was not afraid to go to war against any of the neighbors.

And neighbors every now and then
Boldly offended

But soon the neighbors began to disturb the old king. They realized that the king was not able to fight. Dadon himself is to blame for the fact that he has many enemies, but he does not want to be responsible for his actions.

Dadon's helplessness was manifested in the following:

Indus cried King Dadon
Indus forgot sleep.

Here he is asking for help
Turned to the sage.

In addition, King Dadon was greedy :

Should he contain
Numerous troops.

If he had not been greedy and kept a large army, then the neighbors were afraid to attack the kingdom of Dadon.

Your first will
I will do as mine

The king spat: “So dashing: no!
You won’t get anything ...

Get out, bye for now!
Take the old man away! ”

The king grabbed him with his rod
On the forehead; he fell face down
Yes, and the spirit is out.
