The Yavan king and Prasenjit embraced like friends. They sought mutual forgiveness and exchanged gifts.
King Prasenjit requested Parshva Kumar—"Kindly grace my city with your visit."
Parshva Kumar rode an elephant and entered the city. He was followed by both the kings and their large armies.
Prabhavati saw Parshva Kumar from the balcony of the palace—"Thousand times more handsome than what I heard ! Astonishing!"
She prays joining her palms—“O Lord ! Blessed is she who gets a husband like you."
However, she was worried—“Will he accept my father's request or not ?"
And she resolved—"If he doesn't accept me I will remain unwed all my life. I will spend all my life thinking about him and adoring him."
After the welcome ceremony in the assembly, king Prasenjit requested—“O great man! Please accept my daughter's request."
