beautiful eyes made up of crystal, hair of sapphire, hands-legs; each and every parts of body were exactly matching with the beauty and body of Mallikumāri. That statue was very exact and accurate.
She made golden lotus in the middle and did one hole in that.
The wall was constructed around the hall and six rooms were constructed at four sides of hall. She did such an arrangement that person in any of six rooms can clearly see the statue but persons in one room can't see persons of other rooms.
Every day Mallikumāri was putting one bite of food in the statue from that hole done in golden lotus.
The desperate six kings arrived to Mithila. All were hoping, "Mallikumāri will marry with me." They were ready to fight for her. The citizens of Mithila became tensed by looking at the army of six kings. But, all had faith in Mallikumāri. They were confident that, "Mallikumāri will rescue us from the disaster" Mallikumāri passed message to all six kings to meet her alone. All six were very glad and thought that, "Mallikumāri had called me to meet and hence, she will marry me" By thinking this all six came in palace. Looking at the statue of Mallikumāri all the six kings became completely engrossed.
To unveil the truth Mallikumāri opened the seal of golden lotus. And odor of stale food was spread in the hall.
