From that time onwards, those two girls, due to the mutual attachment born from their learning, abandoned their envy and became free from jealousy. || 358 || Then, the citizens, desiring to play in the forest, were playing there. Seeing a dog, some mischievous children, out of their playfulness, started to beat it. || 359 || Frightened, the dog ran away and fell into a well, becoming near death. || 360 || Seeing this, the young Jivandhar, having his servants bring the dog out, filled its ears with the Pancha Namaskar mantra. || 361 || Accepting the Namaskar mantra, the dog became a Yaksha named Sudarshan, remembering his past life. || 362 || Returning to the young Jivandhar, he said, "I have attained this excellent fortune due to your grace." Thus, with divine ornaments, the grateful Yaksha, filling everyone with wonder, worshipped Jivandhar and said, "O Kumar! From now on, remember me in times of both sorrow and joy." || 363 || Thus, requesting the Kumar, he went to his own abode. The Acharya says, "The fruits of actions done without any reason are inevitable." || 364 || 365 ||
After playing in the forest for a long time, when everyone was returning, the king's thunderous elephant, maddened by intoxication, became agitated upon hearing the noise of the people. Filled with arrogance, he could not be controlled by ordinary humans. The elephant charged towards the chariot of Suramanjari. Seeing this, Jivandhar, quickly deciding on the actions of pacifying and controlling the elephant, approached him with a smile. Through thirty-two types of play, he made the elephant feel remorse and sorrow, but he himself did not feel any distress. Finally, the elephant stood still and was tied with a rope. Seeing all this, the citizens, praising Jivandhar's knowledge of elephants, entered the city. || 366 || 367 || 368 || 369 ||
Suramanjari, whose heart was agitated by the sight of Jivandhar, became infatuated with him from that time onwards. || 370 || Her parents, through her gestures, actions, and conversations, cleverly understood that she was longing for Jivandhar. || 371 ||
