The Twenty-First Chapter
The two friend-devas, who were engaged in the work of a friend, were remembered by me. As soon as they were remembered, they arrived at my place with treasures in their hands. || 372 || They brought me to Champanagari in a beautiful swan-chariot, along with the Gandharva-sena, with wealth that caused wonder. || 173 || Having arranged everything well in Champanagari with inexhaustible treasures, the devas bowed and went to heaven, and the two celestial beings went to their own abode. || 174 || Having seen my maternal uncle, mother, wife, and other relatives with great respect, I was filled with joy and attained happiness. || 175 || Having heard that Vasantasena, the courtesan, had come from her mother's house and was serving her mother-in-law and was adorned with Anuvratas, I was very pleased and accepted her as my own. || 176 || I gave a Kimichchak dana to satisfy the poor and the destitute, and I gave whatever they desired to all my relatives. || 177 || Thus, O Yadava! I have told you about the relationship I have with the celestial maiden and the wealth I have acquired. || 178 || O Yadunandan! You have obtained this fortunate maiden, for whom she was kept, so I must say that you have made me fulfilled. || 179 || The ascetics have told me that my liberation is near, and after this birth, you will attain heaven by performing austerities, so now I will strive for austerities with a peaceful mind. || 180 || Thus, Vasudeva, having heard the relationship of Gandharva-sena from beginning to end and the enthusiasm of Charudatta, was very pleased and praised Charudatta, saying, "Oh! Your effort is accompanied by great generosity, Oh! Your extraordinary merit is also praiseworthy. It is difficult to have such valor without the power of destiny, and what to speak of ordinary humans, even devas and celestial beings cannot attain such wealth." || 181-183 || Having heard the account of Charudatta and his own efforts, Vasudeva told him his entire story, from the beginning to the end of his obtaining Gandharva-sena and others. || 184 ||
