When once the King in the course of a hunting expedition came to the bank of a river tired and done up he saw there the very beautiful lady, Ind墨varaprabh膩, daughter of Mahar峁 Ka峁噕a by Menak膩. Having fallen in love with each other they went to the 膩艣rama of the mahar峁 where, at his instance, 颁补苍诲谤腻惫补濒辞办补 took the pledge not to kill animals in future, and Ka峁噕a married his daughter to the King. On their way back to the palace the couple went to sleep on the banks of a pool which belonged to a Brahmarak峁s, who caught hold of them, but released them on condition that they gave him in their stead a brahmin boy aged seven. Thus they returned to Citrak奴峁璦 and told about the incident to minister Sumati. As advised by Sumati an idol in gold equal in size to a brahmin boy aged seven was made and a proclamation was issued that the golden idol would be given to him who, in return, give a brahmin boy seven years old. A brahmin boy was got, and he was given to the Brahmarak峁s. (Kath膩sarits膩gara 艢a艣膩峁卥avat墨 La峁僢aka, Tara峁単a 27).

Wise men praised him [颁补苍诲谤腻惫补濒辞办补] as the binding-post of the elephant of valour, the fountain-head of generosity and the pleasure-pavilion of beauty.
