## Chapter Thirty-Nine
Vasudeva, the valiant, then spoke to the enraged kings, "Hear my words, O Kshatriyas, both righteous and wicked. A maiden in a Swayamvara chooses her husband according to her liking, be he noble or ignoble. There is no order in a Swayamvara. Therefore, it is not fitting for the father, brother, or any other knowledgeable person to be agitated in this matter. One born in a noble family may be unfortunate for a woman, while another born in a low family may be fortunate. There is no restriction in this matter of lineage and good fortune. Therefore, if this maiden has revealed my unknown good fortune, you should not say anything about it. And if anyone here is not pacified by this display of valor, I will pacify him with arrows drawn to the ear. "
Hearing these words, Jarasandha, the king, became enraged and said to the other kings, "Seize this arrogant man and the king Rudhira, along with his son." The wicked kings, already enraged, were further incensed by the Chakravarti's order. They were ready for battle. Some of the righteous kings, the best of the Kshatriyas, stood apart with their armies, desiring to stop the evil. Those who were on Rudhira's side, their eyes red with anger, were ready to attack the enemy. Rudhira's son, Swarnabha, mounted his chariot, Rohini, and stood ready. Rudhira, with his entire army, stood ready, having placed the noble Vasudeva on his chariot. Rudhira addressed his warriors with sweet words, "O great warriors! Do what is fitting in battle, as your names suggest." Vasudeva said to his father-in-law, Rudhira, "O revered one! Please give me a chariot quickly, one filled with many weapons and arrows."
