PRINCE SHRENIK
Shrenik told the merchant hearing the announcement
The merchant accepted the king's offer. Next day the foreign merchant came to merchant Subhadra. The merchant brought him to his store-house along with Shrenik.
Merchant! accept this
offer.
Look, all this is 'Tejantari sand'. How much will you pay?
Merchant, goods are yours, you only tell me its price.

nis
JE 3
The foreign merchant paid whatever Subhadra said and took away the pots.
One day Nanda told Shrenik
The king called merchant Subhadra and Shrenik to the royal hall and honoured them.
You've increased the pride of our kingdom, so you're honoured to become a sheriff of the town. The king also
called him as 'son-in-law'
Master, tonight! dreamt about a
Tion.
My dear! You'll definitely become mother of a brave and intelligent son
like a lion.

Shrenik was known the son-in-law of merchant Subhadra in Rajsabha. Also the king called him the name of 'Son-in-law'.
Nanda felt shy hearing it.
