पद्मपुराणे दशग्रीवेण साध ताः पुनः क्रीडा प्रचक्रिरे । अन्योन्याहंयुतां प्राप्य प्रथमोपगमाकुलाः ॥१०९।। संप्रत्येव हि सा क्रीडा क्रियते तेन या समम् । शशाङ्केन विमुक्तानां ताराणां कामिरूपता ॥११०॥ ततः कन्चुकिभिस्तासामाशु गत्वा निवेदितम् । जनकेभ्य इदं वृत्तं रत्नश्रवससंभवम् ॥११॥ ततस्तेः प्रहिताः क्रूराः पुरुषास्तद्विनाशने । संदष्टौष्टपुटा बद्धभ्रकुटीकोटिसंकटाः ॥११२॥ विविधानि विमुञ्चन्तस्ते शस्त्राणि समं ततः । भ्रक्षेपमात्रकेणैव कैकसेयेन निर्जिताः ॥११३॥ भयवेपितसर्वाङ्गास्ततस्तेऽमरसुन्दरम् । व्यज्ञापयन् समागस्य शस्त्रनिर्मुक्तपाणयः ॥११४॥ गृहाण जीवनं नाथ हर वा नः कुलाङ्गनाः । छिन्धि ता चरणी पाणी ग्रीवां वान वयं क्षमाः ।।११५॥ कन्यानिवहमध्यस्थः कोऽपि धीरो विराजते । सरेन्द्रसुन्दरः कान्त्या समानो रजनीपतेः ॥११॥ क्रद्धस्य तस्य नो दष्टि देवाः शक्रपुरस्सराः । सहेरन् किमुत क्षुद्रा अस्पत्तल्याः शरीरिणः ॥११७।। रथनपुरनाथेन्द्रप्रभृत्युत्तममानवाः। वीक्षिता बहवोऽस्माभिरयं तु परमादतः ॥११॥ एवं श्रुत्वा महाक्रोधरक्तास्योऽमरसुन्दरः । निरैत् संना संयुक्तो बुधेन कनकेन च ॥११९॥ अन्ये च बहवः शूराः पतयो व्योमगामिनाम् । निश्चक्रमुर्वियद्दीप्तं कुर्वाणाः शस्त्ररश्मिभिः ॥१२॥ ततस्तानायतो दृष्टा ता भयाकुलमानसाः । विद्याधरसुता ऊचुरिदं रत्नश्रवःसुतम् ॥१२१।। अस्मत्प्रयोजनानाथ प्राप्तोऽस्यत्यन्तसंशयम् । पुण्यहीना वयं कष्टं सर्वा अप्यपलक्षणाः ॥१२२॥
गन्धर्व विधिसे उस प्रकार विवाह लिया कि जिस प्रकार चन्द्रमा ताराओंके समूहको विवाह लेता है ।।१०८॥
तदनन्तर 'मैं पहले पहुँचूँ, मैं पहले पहुँचूँ' इस प्रकार परस्परमें होड़ लगाकर वे कन्याएँ दशाननके साथ पुनः क्रीडा करने लगीं ॥१०९॥ जो कन्या दशाननके साथ क्रीड़ा करती थी वही भली मालूम होती थी सो ठीक ही है क्योंकि चन्द्रमासे रहित ताराओंकी क्या शोभा है ? ॥११०॥ तदनन्तर जो कंचुकी इन कन्याओंके साथ वापिकापर आये थे उन्होंने शीघ्र ही जाकर कन्याओंके पितासे दशाननका यह वृत्तान्त कह सुनाया॥१११॥ तब कन्याओंके पिताने दशाननको नष्ट करनेके लिए ऐसे क्रूर पुरुष भेजे कि जो क्रोधवश ओठोंको डंस रहे थे तथा बद्ध भौंहोंके अग्रभागसे भयानक मालूम होते थे ॥११२॥ वे सब एक ही साथ अनेक प्रकारके शस्त्र चला रहे थे पर दशाननने उन्हें भौंह उठाते ही जीत लिया ॥११३।। तदनन्तर जिनका सारा शरीर भयसे कांप रहा था तथा जिनके हाथसे शस्त्र छूट गये थे ऐसे वे सब पुरुष राजा सुरसुन्दरके पास जाकर कहने लगे ॥११४॥ कि हे नाथ ! चाहे हमारा जीवन हर लो, चाहे हमारे हाथ-पैर तथा गरदन काट लो पर हम उस पुरुषको नष्ट करनेमें समर्थ नहीं हैं ।।११५।। इन्द्रके समान सुन्दर तथा कान्तिसे चन्द्रमाकी तुलना करनेवाला कोई एक धीर-वीर मनुष्य कन्याओंके बीचमें बैठा हुआ सुशोभित हो रहा है ॥११६।। सो जब वह क्रुद्ध होता है तब उसकी दृष्टिको इन्द्र आदि देव भी सहन नहीं कर सकते फिर हमारे जैसे क्षुद्र प्राणियोंकी तो बात ही क्या है ? ॥११७।। रथनूपुर नगरके राजा इन्द्र आदि बहुत-से उत्तम पुरुष हमने देखे हैं पर यह उन सबमें परम आदरको प्राप्त है ॥११८॥
यह सुनकर, बहुत भारी क्रोधसे जिसका मुंह लाल हो रहा था ऐसा राजा सुरसुन्दर राजा कनक और बुधके साथ तैयार होकर बाहर निकला ॥११९॥ इनके सिवाय और भी बहुत-से शूरवीर विद्याधरोंके अधिपति शस्त्रोंकी किरणोंसे आकाशको देदीप्यमान करते हुए बाहर निकले ॥१२०॥ तदनन्तर उन्हें आता देख, जिनका मन भयसे व्याकुल हो रहा था ऐसी वे विद्याधर कन्याएँ दशाननसे बोली कि हे नाथ ! आप हमारे निमित्तसे अत्यन्त संशयको प्राप्त हुए हैं। यथार्थमें हम सब पुण्यहीन तथा शुभलक्षणोंसे रहित हैं ॥१२१-१२२॥

In the Padma Purana, Dasagriva, with those women, again engaged in play. They, being mutually attracted, became agitated at the first approach. ||109|| Indeed, that play is being performed by him, so it is fitting. The beauty of the stars is due to the moon. ||110|| Then, the Kanchukis, having quickly gone to them, informed the Janakas of this incident, which happened due to Ratnaśrava. ||111|| Then, those cruel men, sent by them for his destruction, with their lips bitten and their brows furrowed, were full of anxiety. ||112|| They, all together, released various weapons, but they were defeated by Kaitakeśaya with a mere glance. ||113|| Then, those, with their whole bodies trembling with fear, and their hands having released their weapons, approached the beautiful Amarasundara. ||114|| "Take our lives, O Lord, or cut off our hands and feet, or our necks, we are unable to destroy that man." ||115|| In the midst of the group of women, a certain valiant man, shining with beauty, equal to that of the moon, was seated. ||116|| Even the gods, headed by Indra, cannot bear the sight of him when he is angry, what to speak of us, who are mere mortals? ||117|| We have seen many excellent men, like the king of Rathnapura, Indra, etc., but this one is the most revered of all. ||118|| Hearing this, Amarasundara, whose face was red with great anger, went out, accompanied by Kanaka and Budha. ||119|| Other valiant husbands of the celestial women, making the sky brilliant with the rays of their weapons, also went out. ||120|| Then, seeing them coming, those celestial women, whose minds were filled with fear, said to Ratnaśrava: "O Lord, you have come to great danger on our account. In truth, we are all devoid of merit and auspicious signs." ||121-122||

The Gandharva married in the same way as the moon marries the group of stars. ||108||

After that, they, the women, started playing again with Dasanana, competing with each other, saying, "I will reach first, I will reach first." ||109|| The woman who plays with Dasanana seems to be good, and it is right, because what is the beauty of the stars without the moon? ||110|| After that, the Kanchukis, who had come back with these women, quickly went and told the fathers of the women about this incident of Dasanana. ||111|| Then, the fathers of the women sent such cruel men to destroy Dasanana, who were biting their lips in anger and looked terrible with their furrowed brows. ||112|| They were all releasing various kinds of weapons together, but Dasanana defeated them with a mere glance. ||113|| Then, those whose whole bodies were trembling with fear and whose hands had released their weapons, went to King Surasundara and said, ||114|| "O Lord! Take our lives, or cut off our hands and feet, or our necks, we are not able to destroy that man." ||115|| A valiant man, beautiful like Indra and shining with the beauty of the moon, was sitting among the women. ||116|| Even the gods, headed by Indra, cannot bear the sight of him when he is angry, what to speak of us, who are mere mortals? ||117|| We have seen many excellent men, like the king of Rathnapura, Indra, etc., but this one is the most revered of all. ||118|| Hearing this, King Surasundara, whose face was red with great anger, went out, accompanied by Kanaka and Budha. ||119|| Besides them, many other valiant husbands of the celestial women, making the sky brilliant with the rays of their weapons, also went out. ||120|| Then, seeing them coming, those celestial women, whose minds were filled with fear, said to Dasanana: "O Lord! You have come to great danger on our account. In truth, we are all devoid of merit and auspicious signs." ||121-122||
