## The Twenty-First Canto
**305**
Varaha, Gomukha, Harisingha, Tamontak, and Marubhuti, these five were my friends, dear to me. ||13||
With them, playing, I went to the Ratnamali river. There, on the bank, I saw a spot where no footprints were found, indicating a couple's presence. ||14||
Suspecting a Vidyaadhara couple, we went further. There, in a green Kadali grove, we saw their bed of love. ||15||
The flowers and leaves of the bed were wilted due to their amorous activities. A little further, we saw a dense forest. ||16||
There, on a tree, we saw a Vidyaadhara, pierced with iron nails. His red eyes were fixed on the shield and sword lying nearby. ||17||
Seeing this, I took three divine herbs hidden under the shield: Chalan, Utkeelan, and Unmool-Vran-Roh. With Chalan, I made him move; with Utkeelan, I removed the nails; and with Unmool-Vran-Roh, I healed the wounds caused by the nails. ||18||
As soon as he was free from nails and wounds, he silently took his shield and sword, flew into the sky, and ran towards the north. ||19||
Following the sound of weeping, he ran towards it and rescued his beloved, who had been abducted by an enemy. Bringing her back, he came to me and said with great respect, "O noble one! Just as you gave your life for me, a dying man, so too, give me your command. Tell me, what can I do for you?" ||20-21||
In the southern range of the Vijayaadham mountain, there is a city called Shiva Mandir. There, a righteous king named Mahendra Vikram rules. I am his beloved son, Amitagati. My friends are two Vidyaadharas named Dhoomasingha and Gaurmund. ||22-23||
Once, with those two friends, I went to the Hrimanta mountain. There, a sage named Hiranyaroma lived. He had a beautiful daughter named Sukumarika, who was in the prime of her youth and as delicate as a Shirisha flower. ||24-25||
