Explanation:
ALexander: Defeated but still so much pridePorus: Not yet, my kingdom is safe in the hands of my youngest son Malayketu. You have just won the battle not the war. You can kill me now but the war is on. And which victory do you boast about. You were thrashed by me in the battlefield such that you were rescued by your soldiers by foul means. You trust on this Ambhi who betrayed his own motherland just for gaining political victory. How sure u are that he will not betray you. I will be only happy to achieve martyrdom for the sake of motherland.Alexander: Indeed, my army is destroyed, Taxilian army is finished. I cant further attack Kekaya where your son is ready to face me. You defeated me in a duel, me who has defeated the best of warriors on this planet. This sword of mine which is blooded with the blood of innocents now bows to you. Never before have I seen a great warrior than you, tell Porus how shall I treat you?Porus: As a king would treat another king.Alexander: I am humbled by your pride, I cannot give you back your kingdom as you never lost it, I cannot give you back your family as they achieved martyrdom, but yes I can give you back your freedom but in the exchange of friendship. I want to experience the beauty of this culture. And yes in this world of mortals, this battle will become immortal for whenever thename of Alexander will be taken, the name of Porus will also be taken with equal pride. If I am the greatest conqueror then you r the greatest defender.
