In the Padma Purana, the words of the girls with bowed heads and adorned with jewels, resembling the wish-fulfilling tree, were spoken.
[382]
Their friendship, with soft hands like lotus flowers, was abandoned. They were standing on a palanquin, adorned with the color of the Makara flag.
[383]
The king of this city, named Nabhastilaka, was born to the queen Vimala, the daughter of the king Chandra Kundala.
[384]
His name is Martanda Kundala, he conquers the sun with his brilliance, he is endowed with qualities like peace, war, etc., and for all these reasons, he has attained supreme prominence in his circle.
[385]
When the qualities of kings are discussed in assemblies, wise men first mention his name, and due to excessive joy, their bodies become filled with thorns of goosebumps.
[386]
Daughter, if you have a desire to enjoy with him, then accept this Martanda Kundala, who has seen the essence of all scriptures.
[387]
Then, the king of the Vidyadharas, whose youth had somewhat faded, was rejected by Sri Mala simply by lowering her face.
[388]
Then, Sumangala, the nurse, said to her daughter, "Look at this prince, who is the lord of all men, with his brilliance, radiance, and glory."
[389]
He is the lord of Ratnapura, the son of King Vidyanga and Queen Lakshmi, his name is Vidyasamudhata, and he is the lord of all Vidyadharas.
[390]
When his name is heard, enemies tremble like the leaves of a peepal tree shaken by the wind, fearing his prowess.
[391]
Lakshmi, who was tired of wandering among many petty kings, has found rest, as it were, on his broad chest, adorned with a necklace as a pillow.
[392]
Daughter, if you have a desire to sit in his lap, then accept him. May lightning unite with Mount Meru.
[393]
Then, Sri Mala looked at him with simple eyes, and he was rejected. This is right, because a girl's gaze becomes unsteady when she looks at the one she desires as her husband.
[394]
Then, Sumangala, knowing her intention, told her that she would see the king again.
[395]
The girl, with her humility and adorned with jewels, appeared like a wish-fulfilling tree.
[381-382]
Although her soft lotus-like hands were resting on her friend's shoulder, they were slipping down. She was seated on a palanquin and was ready to reveal her choice.
[383]
Sumangala, the nurse, introducing the arriving princes, said, "Daughter, this is the king of Nabhastilaka, born to Queen Vimala, the daughter of King Chandra Kundala."
[384]
