ŚRĪ MALLINĀTHACARITRA
a sun in splendor, Brhaspati in wisdom, King Pratibuddha asks to marry your irreproachable daughter Malli. The maiden must surely be given to some one by her father. You can make him your kinsman by giving her to him.'

The second messenger said: "The king of Campā, young, whose arms are like a yoke, broad-shouldered, faireyed, well-bred, clever, faithful to his word, powerful in battle, learned in all the sciences and practiced in weapons, like the moon in light, King Candracchāya seeks Malli from you. Be pleased to give her to him."
The third messenger said: "The king of Śrāvasti, the wishing-gem of mortals and the crest-jewel of warriors, the refuge of those seeking protection, the best among the heroic, the play-house of the Śrīs of victory, the garden of the trees of virtues, King Rukmin seeks your daughter. Arrange the union of the suitable, O king, You know what is suitable."

The fourth messenger said: "The lord of Kāśī, by whom Punyajaneśvara (Kubera) is surpassed in wonderful power, eloquent, Kandarpa in beauty, destroyer of the insolence of enemies, a traveler on the path of good conduct, Pakaśāsana in command, his glory as brilliant as a fragment of a conch, King Sankha asks you for your daughter. Give your consent, O king."
The fifth messenger said: "The lord of Hastinapura, Hastimalla in strength, light-handed, long-armed, successful in many battles, broad-chested, intelligent, young, a shoot of the creeper of glory, the only Rohana of the jewels of virtues, the support of the poor and protectorless, King Adinaśatru seeks your daughter Malli. Give her, King of Videha."
The sixth messenger said: "The lord of Kampilya, unshakable by enemies like a mountain by elephants; adorned by many armies like an ocean by rivers, by generals with invincible powers, like Sunāsīra, King Jitaśatru, all of whose enemies have been conquered, asks through my speech for your daughter. Give her without hesitation."
