**40.** The Kumar, considering the matter carefully, replied, "I have taken a vow at the time of my Upanayana, given to me by my Gurus, that I will not accept any other girl except the one given to me by my parents and Gurus."
**41.** Hearing this, all the girls, filled with the essence of love, tried in various ways to attract the Kumar, but when they failed, Vidyudvega, leaving her beloved Sri Pal on the roof of the house, closed the door from outside and went to call his parents.
**42.** Meanwhile, Kumar Sri Pal, wearing a red blanket, fell asleep. A Bherunda bird, seeing him, mistook him for a piece of meat and picked him up, intending to eat him on the top of the Siddhakut Chaitya. But seeing the Kumar moving, it left him. This is the natural quality of birds.
**43.** After that, Sri Pal descended from the top of the Siddhakut, bathed in the lake, and, taking fragrant flowers, circumambulated the Jinalaya with devotion and began to praise. At that moment, the door of the Chaitya opened by itself. Seeing this, he was very happy and, after paying homage to the Jinenadradev according to the rituals, sat down comfortably.
**44.** At that moment, a Vidyadhara appeared and, lifting the Kumar, took him away through the sky. While traveling, they reached the beautiful city of Shivankarpur. The king's name was Anilvega, and his wife's name was Kantvati. They had a daughter named Bhogavati, who was sleeping on a soft bed in a palace made of crystal in the sky. Seeing her, the Vidyadhara asked Sri Pal, "Who is this young lady?"
**45.** The Kumar replied, "This is Bhogavati, the daughter of Anilvega, the king of Shivankarpur."

The Vidyadhara, seeing the Kumar, became very attached to him and said, "You should not leave her." The Kumar, hearing all this and thinking carefully, gave a suitable answer, "I have taken a vow at the time of my Upanayana, given to me by my Gurus, that I will not accept any other girl except the one given to me by my parents and Gurus."
