In the Padma Purana, it is said that when Pingala, filled with the desire for Chittotsava, came to know her true nature, he abducted her. Just as infamy steals away fame, so too did Pingala steal away Chittotsava. ||10|| When he took her to a distant land, her relatives came to know of it. Just as delusion steals away the path to liberation, so too did carelessness lead to the abduction of the maiden. ||11|| Pingala, the abductor, was delighted with the maiden, but being poor, he did not shine in her presence, just as a greedy man devoid of Dharma does not shine due to his lust. ||12|| Pingala, carrying the maiden, reached a fortified city inaccessible to foreigners. He built a hut outside the city, where other poor people lived, and stayed there. ||13|| He was devoid of knowledge and wisdom, and immersed in the ocean of poverty. Therefore, he protected his wife by collecting straw and wood. ||14|| In the same city lived King Kundalamandit, the son of King Prakash Singh and Queen Pravaravali, who was feared by enemy nations. ||15|| One day, while he was out of the city, he saw Chittotsava. Upon seeing her, he was struck by the five arrows of love and became extremely distressed. ||16|| He secretly sent a messenger to Chittotsava, who brought her to the royal palace at night, just as earlier, King Sumukh's messenger had brought Kamalamela to his palace. ||17|| Just as Nalakubara, filled with love, enjoyed the company of Urvashi, so too did Kundalamandit, filled with affection, enjoy the company of Chittotsava. ||18||
Later, when Pingala, exhausted, returned home, he did not see his wide-eyed wife and was immersed in the ocean of sorrow. ||19|| Gautam Swami says, what more can be said? He was filled with the sorrow of separation and, like a man on a wheel, was restless and could not find happiness anywhere. ||20|| Then, the Brahmin, whose wife had been abducted, went to the king and said, "O King! Someone has stolen my wife." ||21|| The king is the refuge of all, especially women and men who are afraid, poor, and distressed. ||22||
When Pingala fully understood the nature of Chittotsava's desire, he took her away to a secluded place. Just as infamy steals away fame, so too did Pingala steal away Chittotsava. ||10|| When he took her to a distant land, her relatives came to know of it. Just as delusion steals away the path to liberation, so too did carelessness lead to the abduction of the maiden. ||11|| Pingala, the abductor, was delighted with the maiden, but being poor, he did not shine in her presence, just as a greedy man devoid of Dharma does not shine due to his lust. ||12|| Pingala, carrying the maiden, reached a fortified city inaccessible to foreigners.
