"Well, I don't want any easy jobs of that sort," porus said.
The territory of porus extended to the east as far as the Asikni.
porus grasped the handle of his dagger and looked menacingly at the farmer.
When porus was taken prisoner, and Alexander asked him how he expected to be used, he answered, "As a king."

porus was an Indian king who was defeated and put to death by Alexander the Great.
