Dahih Kenopashāmyatu? The fire of our adversity is extinguished by the water of contentment and happiness. But, by what means can we pacify the sorrow that appears on account of our inability to fulfil the desires of the beggars or pecple that come to our doors. We cannot think of any means by which we can pacify that sorrow.
The next day, King Bhoja called on the poet. At that time, Māgha was composing a great work called Shishupalavadham. He read out a canto of that poem to the ling. The King Bhoja was greatly delighted by it. He ordered a beautiful building to be built in the garden and when it was built, he entreated the poet to live in it and to continue the composition of his work without any care or worry. He said to the poet, "This one poem will spread your fame to the ends of the world; your fame will be immortal in this world and you will always occupy an elevated place in the hearts of Sanskrit poets and lovers of poetry.”
Having said this and saluting the poet respectfully, the king returned to his palace. Some days later, Māylia said to his wife: धुतक्षामः पथिक मदीयभवन
पृच्छन कुतं ऽप्यागतः तत्किं गेहिनि ! किञ्चिदस्ति यदयं
