He said, "What should I do with this? Wash it, Haribhavan. You are not Krishna, who, resting on the serpent bed, effortlessly mounted the divine bow called Shanga, and filled the entire space with the sound of the conch. Do you have that courage? If not, why are you asking me to wash the cloth?"

Nemnath said, "I will do this task properly," and driven by pride, he went towards the city. He entered the armory and, standing on the serpent bed, which shone with the brilliance of great jewels, he mounted it as if it were his own bed. He then mounted the bow, whose string, due to repeated stretching, made a loud sound, and blew the conch that filled the entire space.

With great astonishment, he asked his servants, "What is this?" They investigated the matter thoroughly and informed Krishna.

Hearing their words, the Chakravarti Krishna, with great care, pondered, "It is amazing, after a long time, the mind of Kumar Nemnath has become filled with attachment. Now that he has attained youth, he is fit for marriage. He should be married. It is true, what mortal is not hindered by the evil of lust?"

Thinking this, he said, "To increase the ocean of the Ugravansha, there is Rajimati, the daughter of King Ugrasen, born from the queen Jayavati, who is beautiful in every way."
145
After considering this, he went to King Ugrasen's house and, with great respect, requested the honorable daughter, saying, "May your daughter become the beloved of Nemikumar, the lord of the three worlds."
146
In response, King Ugrasen said, "O Dev! You are the master of the jewels born in the three realms, and especially our master. Who are we to fulfill this request?"
