The king, accompanied by his beloved, returned to his abode along with the wise men, who were pleased. ||24|| The two yogis, adorned with the wind, followed the wind, proclaiming the freedom from attachment of the monks, and flew through the sky. ||249|| The king, his mind filled with the contemplation of their virtues, spent the rest of the day on the banks of the lake, along with his army. ||250|| After that, he traveled many stages and reached the city of Puṇḍarīkī. There he saw the grieving queen Lakṣmīmatī, and his sister Anundharī, who was also filled with anxiety. He comforted them both slowly and made the kingdom of Puṇḍarīka free from troubles. ||251-252|| He won over the people with the means of conciliation, gifts, punishment, and division, and honored the chieftains and vassal kings, appointing them to their respective duties as before. ||253|| Then, he placed the young Puṇḍarīka, who shone like the morning sun, on the throne, entrusted the administration of the kingdom to capable ministers, and returned to his city of Utpalakheṭaka. ||254|| The king, adorned with great splendor, entered his beautiful city of Utpalakheṭaka, which resembled a heavenly city, accompanied by his beloved Śrīmatī. As he entered, the beautiful women of the city drank in his beauty with their eyes. The king, as he entered the city, shone like Indra entering heaven. ||255||
