In the Harivamsha Purana, he was adorned with the brilliance of a white, pure, and peaceful old age, free from all defilements, and with a vast, pure stream of karma, generating glory. || 8 || Having conquered the vices, passions, and endurance, and having well controlled the activities of the senses, the king, Su-mukha, seeing the great ascetic, Su-mukha, arrive at his home, immediately stood up. || 9 || His mind overwhelmed with joy, he went to him, accompanied by his wife, and after circumambulating the pure ascetic, he respectfully received him and seated him on the pure, jeweled floor. || 10 || Then, with his beloved wife holding a golden pitcher, he washed the feet of the ascetic with water free from impurities. || 11 || Then, with fragrant sandalwood, auspicious grains, offerings, lamps, incense, and other auspicious materials, he worshipped him with his mind, speech, and body, and then gave him gifts with joy. || 12 || At that time, the karmic results of Su-mukha and Vanamala were equal, so they both made a great, virtuous bond that would bring them the fruits of enjoyment in the next life, a bond that would destroy all sins. || 13 || The ascetic, who had observed a fast for many days, performed the breaking of the fast for the sake of his emaciated body, and who was the cause of happiness for those who gave, and who was extremely skilled in the contemplation of truth, went to the forest. || 14 || Then, the king, Su-mukha, who was enjoying the fruits of his good deeds, and who was constantly repenting for the sin of abducting another man's wife, was constantly experiencing happiness, free from harm, and at some point, he lay down with his beloved wife, Vanamala, who was like a garland of virtues. || 16 ||
