‘Mahabal ! At present there are four or five main things to do, before us :
1. First priority is to save the life of your father.
2. Second thing is to procure the Lakshmipunj necklace from Kanakmala who hides herself at Magadha's house.
3. Third thing is to save the life of Padmavati by handing over to her the necklace.
4. Last thing is to marry you by arranging Swayamvar.
You finish up the business of procuring the necklace from Kanakmala. I will no the remaining things. As soon as the day breaks, we will set out on our respective missions. We will again meet here tomorrow night. If you come first, you wait and if I come earlier, I will wait for you.'
In the carly morning, both Mahabal
