I feel the hermit may not have known about the ambush in advance; the story does not say so. He was wise and calm, and he understood the meaning of events as they happened. However, his remark, “Here comes someone running,” and his patience in keeping the king busy until evening make one feel that, being an enlightened man, he might have sensed what was going to happen. Either way, he used the events to teach the king.
