Parshva Kumar—"O king! Presently I am here to fulfill my father's desire to help you. Marriage proposal cannot be discussed here."
Prasenjit-"Sir ! What you say is right. I will accompany you to Varanasi and request king Ashvasen.”
King Prasenjit came to Varanasi along with Parshva Kumar. He requested king Ashvasen—"Sir! Only you can fulfill my daughter Prabhavati's wish.”
King Ashvasen looked at Parshva Kumar—"Son! Please accept king Prasenjit's request."
Parshva Kumar—“Father ! What is the purpose of accepting the possessions that I am destined to renounce ?” The parents insisted—“Son! We know that you are detached and without desires, but even then it is the duty of a son to fulfill desires of his parents.” Mother Vamadevi added—“Son ! My dream will come true once I see you married."
Submitting to everyone's desire, Parshva Kumar married Prabhavati. Beholding the beautiful couple the parents and relatives brimmed with joy.
