## The Seventy-Seventh Chapter
356
They gave four veenas, namely, Ghosha, Sugosha, Mahaghosha, and Ghoshavati. Of these, two veenas were given to the Vidyadharas and two to the earth-dwellers, respectively. || 296 ||
The Muni, having asked in vain, said to Vali, "I have requested you because I have no space for the third step." || 297 ||
The powerful Vishnu Muni, having bound the strong Vali, quickly removed the unbearable affliction of the Munis. || 298 ||
The king, Padmaratha, was ready to kill the bound Vali, but the Muni, with a happy mind, stopped him and made Vali accept the right Dharma. || 299 ||
Thus, the great Muni, having established the influence of Dharma, was honored by King Padmaratha and then went to his own place. || 300 ||
After narrating this story, Kumar Vasudeva said to Gandharvadatta, "Of the four veenas given by the Devas, the Ghoshavati veena has come to your lineage. Therefore, please bring that auspicious veena for me." || 301 ||
Hearing this, they brought the same veena for him. Vasudeva, with that veena, sang and played, delighting the minds of all the listeners. || 302 ||
Seeing Vasudeva's great skill in playing the veena, Gandharvadatta was pleased and offered him a garland of her own, like a garland of jewels, around the neck of the one with a beautiful voice, who had subdued all the kings. || 303 ||
"Indeed, those who have done good deeds in the past, receive great wealth themselves," said Vasudeva. || 304 ||
Then, everyone rejoiced and performed the auspicious Abhishek for Vasudeva. In this way, Vasudeva, honored by the Vidyadhara kings with the gift of daughters, etc., on the Vijayardha mountain, received seven hundred daughters. || 305 ||
Then, Vasudeva, the bearer of supreme happiness, returned from the Vijayardha mountain and came to the earth. || 306 ||
King Hiranyavarma of the city of Arishtapura had a daughter named Rohini, born to his queen Padmavati. She truly resembled the wife of the moon, Rohini. || 307 ||
Many kings, like the main teachers, came for her Swayamvara, possessing many arts and qualities. But Vasudeva, as if separate from everyone, sat there, as if to declare, "I am the teacher of all." || 308 ||
Rohini, with a mind troubled by longing, embraced Vasudeva's neck with a garland of jewels, as if it were her own strength. || 309 ||
Then, various boundaries, like the conquest of the ocean, etc., arose. Like the ocean, they approached her, causing turmoil. || 310 ||
