Introduction

of V. who was reported as destined to be the future Vidyadhara Sovereign. (pp. 161-162 ).
Moving about, V. saw a black beauty named Vaidūryamālā, irakiog a daace offering before the Rşabha image. He felt a longing for her. Jealous Adilayaśā pressed him to return. At dawn the festival ended.
In the morning when V. was collecting lotuses from the lake for worship, Vaidūrya nālā chanced to arrive there. She complimented Anilayaśā for get. ting a god-like husband. At her request Anilayaśā introduced her to V. as the daughter of Matangadeva, ruling at Matangapura Vaidūrsamāla offered to take them to her city, where they could live as her honoured guests. Being already enchanted by her beauty, V. consented. Vaiduryamāla brought them in an acrial car to her palace garden. Her father welcomed them. They were treated with high regard. Vaidūryamālā offered Agilayaśā to teach her Vidya, but the latter declined, because she belonged to the Sankukā School, while Vaidūryamālā belonged to the Mātanga School. Besides being childhoodfriodds they were equals, (pp 163-166 ).
Once Agilayasa was insulted by five passing Vidyadharas who owed allegiance to her father. Greatly outraged, she decided to acquire the Vid. yās even from the Matangi Schcol. V. gave ber permission. While she was occupied with the observa'ion of the prescribed vows and rites, V. married Vaidūryamālā at her back because Matangadeva told him about the prediction that he (i.e, V.) was destined to be Vaiduryamala's husband. At the time of the performance of the marriage ceremony, Vaidūryamála bestowed on V. the Mahāmānasi Vidyā as a present.
News were brought to V. that Aoilayaśā had accomplished her undertaking and acquired the Mahārohini Vidya Vaiduryamālā attended the concluding rite connected with that and returned to Y. While both of them were enjoying drinks, Apilayağa arrived there. Painfully shocked and furious at Vaiduryamālā's breach of trust in marrying V. at her back, she complained to Matangadeva, who punished Vaiduryamālā by putting her into fetters, and ordered V.'s execution. Releating later, however, he commuted Vi's punishment in to banishment to wilderness. Anilayaśā flew away somewhere. V. was carried away by the Vidyadharas, who left him in a wilderness. But during the night some other Vidyādbaras abducted him and left him in another woodland (pp. 166-172).
