Jasovanta Singh was commanding general under General Aurangzeb. In a battle, Jasovanta Singh met defeat, and so he returned home to his palace. But the palace gate was closed. He sent a message to his queen informing him that he had returned home and asking why she had closed the gate.. Upon hearing this message, the queen replied, "Who has returned home? Jasovanta Singh? No no, it cannot be. Jasovanta Singh would never return home after being defeated. He would either conquer or give up his life. The person at the door must be a pretender." So saying, she refused to open the door. MORAL: This story illustrates the ksatriya spirit.
