Thirty-first Chapter
391. "Look, daughter, at the kings of Suryapur, who possess wisdom, courage, and other virtues. If you like, place a garland around the neck of one of them."
25. Having said this, the girl's mind was filled with reverence for the gurus. Then, she showed her the Pandava king, and after him, Vidura.
26. She showed her Damaghosha, the one who proclaimed fame, Dattavaktara, the one with great valor, Shalya, who was like a thorn to his enemies, Shatrujaya, the one with a meaningful name, Chandraabha, the one as beautiful as the moon, Kalamukha, the chief, Paundra, the one with lotus-like eyes, Matsya, the one devoid of envy,
27. Sanjay, the one engrossed in victory, Somadutta, the best among kings, his son, Bhurisrava, obedient to his brothers,
28. Anshumat, the one with the son Anshumat, Kapila, the one with vast qualities, Padmaratha, the king, Somaka, the one as gentle as the moon,
29. Devaka, the one with the appearance of Devnatha, Shrideva, the one served by his Lakshmi-like wife. Having shown her all these kings, she explained their lineage and position.
30. Then, the nurse, who knew justice, showed the girl other kings as well. "Daughter, these are the main ones. Why are you standing silently? Place a garland around the neck of the one who resides in your heart, the one you desire. All these kings are attracted to your auspicious qualities and are standing here near you. Reveal the good fortune of the one who has captured your heart. Your parents are sleepless with worry about finding a suitable husband for you. Accept a worthy groom and make them happy."
31-34. The girl replied to the nurse, "Mother, you have spoken well. But my heart is not drawn to any of the kings you have shown me."
35. After seeing someone, if love arises in the heart, then words are repeated, and there is satisfaction in both the man and the woman when their inner love is revealed.
36. "Daughter, look, the king Ugrasena, the lord of Mathura, is sitting there. If you like, look at him."
