Pañcasaptatitama Parva
At the southern bank of the Airāvatī river, Pārṇalavyā, filled with sorrow, abandoned Candanā there with the help of a Siddha-vidyā. ॥44॥ She, being engrossed in the recitation of the Pañcanamaskāra mantra, spent that night in great distress. At the rise of the sun, by chance, a forest-dweller named Kālakālya came there. He gave her his own valuable and shining ornaments and also preached the Dharma to her, due to which the forest-dweller became very pleased. ॥45-47॥ That forest-dweller was the king of the Bhīls, known as Siṃha, who lived at the foot of the Bhīmakūṭa mountain. He handed over Candanā to the lord of the fearsome village called Bhayaṃkarā. That wicked one, being deluded by desire, wanted to subdue her. ॥48॥ Seeing this, his mother warned him, "O son, do not do this, as she is a manifest deity. If she gets angry, she will cause great torment, penance, and sorrow." Fearing his mother's words, even the wicked one released Candanā. ॥49-50॥ There, Candanā lived peacefully for some time under the care of the mother of that Bhīl. ॥51॥
Then, in the excellent city of Kauśāmbī, there lived a merchant named Vṛṣabhasena. His employee, named Mitravīra, was a friend of the king of the Bhīls. The king of the Bhīls gave Candanā to this Mitravīra, and he, with great devotion, handed her over to the merchant, his master. ॥52-53॥ Once, while Candanā was serving water to the merchant, her unbound hair fell down and was hanging on the ground, wet with water. Seeing this, the merchant's wife, named Bhadrā, became suspicious, thinking that her husband had a connection with Candanā. Enraged, with trembling lips, the wicked woman bound Candanā with chains and constantly tormented her with poor food and beatings. ॥54-57॥ But Candanā thought, "This is the result of my own sinful actions. What can this wretched woman do?" Bearing it all patiently, she continued to endure. ॥58॥
