solution of her daughter asks Naravāhana Muni as to who will be the bridegroom of my daughter Kanakamālā. Naravāhana Muni tells that the Cakravartī of the Vaitādhya will be the only groom for your daughter. King Gandhavāhana proposes the relation of his son Nabhavāhana for Kanakamālā to Amitagati as he was to leave the kingship. Amitagati accepts the relation as he has no option but after return from Khecara Nagara when he was informed that his daughter has fallen in love with Citravega, he decided not to marry his daughter with Citravaga. He requests her wife to understand the situation and to convince Kanakamālā to get ready to marry with Nabhavāhana. On the other hand, Kanakamālā knowing his father's position decides either to marry Citravega or suicide. To commit suicide she climbs on Tamā tree. As soon as she tries to suicide an oracle bursts from sky that 'Do not worry, you will be married to Citravega. After an interval again an oracle is heard saying Kanakamālā not to think on more options and to accept the proposal of her father. Citramālā, the mother of Kanakamālā informs to Amitagati that Kanakamālā has accepted the proposal of getting married with Nabhavāhana. Somalatā who was the messenger of Citravaga and Kanakamālā informs Citravega that an oracle never goes false. She goes on to describe the poor condition of Kanakamālā saying that if she fails to marry with you, she will commit suicide.
Chitravega says to Suppratiștha that after being assured by Somalatā that she will keep me informed about the every incident occurring before Kanakamālā, I became relaxed. But after few days that auspicious day arrived when Nabhavāhana came to Khecara Nagara to marry Kanakamālā. Chitravega thinks that how then an oracle be false that she will be mine. With a sad mind he goes to garden where he had seen Kanakamālā first and decides to commit suicide. He climbs on the tree and keeping rope around his neck he leaves her body loose. In the meanwhile some one comes and laid his body down on the earth without any harm. He tries to get fainted Citravega conscious. When Citravega became conscious, he saw a person whom he had never seen before and who was like a Kāmadeva (Cupid - the God of love) serving him. He experiences that all his pain has disappeared and he is feeling well.
Here ends the forth chapter.
