Answer the following question.
(c) The hermit ‘spoke only to common people’, so the king ‘put on simple clothes’. Do you think the king hoped to be mistaken for a common man, or was he just showing that he was a humble person? What shows that the hermit knew him to be the king?

I think the king wanted to show that he was humble and had come as a seeker, not as a ruler, though he also hoped the hermit would agree to speak to him. The hermit, however, knew he was the king: the king himself began by asking about the people he most needed and the affairs he had to attend to, and the hermit in his final answer spoke of the man who would have killed him and of making peace with the king’s enemy.
