## Forty-Seventh Chapter
486
The previous order proved true, and the king, pleased, wished to give his daughter to the prince. But seeing the prince's unwillingness, he instructed his son, Varensen, to quickly take him to his relatives.
Varensen took the prince and left him outside the city of Vimala, suffering from thirst. He went to fetch water.
At that time, Sukhavati, assuming the form of a hunchback, arrived there. She touched the prince with her garland of flowers, quenched his thirst, and transformed him into a maiden.
Seeing this maiden, both Dhumvega and Harivar desired her, and both became envious of each other, wanting to claim her.
Seeing their mutual hatred, their relatives intervened, saying, "Your fight is in vain. Let her have the husband she desires."
Thus, restrained by their relatives, they ceased their animosity. For whose love is not broken by a woman?
The maiden, however, desired neither of them. Sukhavati took her away in the form of a maiden to where Kanta, Sukanta, Ratikanta, and Kantavati resided.
Seeing the prince in his original form, some of the maidens felt ashamed, while others were delighted. This is natural, for women's emotions are diverse.
Sri Pal slept there that night. At dawn, Sukhavati woke him up with great effort. Opening his eyes, the prince asked her, "Did you leave me alone here and go somewhere?"
Sukhavati replied, "I did not go anywhere. I have always been by your side. The fortune-tellers have said that you will obtain a woman's treasure here. You have nothing to fear. Until now, I have hidden my true form, but today I have come to meet you in my true form."
