The fame of princess Mall 's heavenly beauty reached the king of K as well. The king of K was named amkha and in his past life was king Mah bala's friend Abhicanda. Once when one of the pair of ear-rings gifted by Arahannaka broke the king of Mithil gave it to his goldsmiths to repair, but one of them could do it. Angry with this, king Kumbha expelled all the goldsmiths from his city. Displaced, all the goldsmiths went to the king of K and requested him if they could stay and work there. When the king of K asked the reason for their expulsion, they told him of the ear-rings and along with it, also described the beauty of princess Mall, saying, "Oh king, the heavenly aura that princess Mall exudes is difficult to find in human or celestial women.” Hearing the description of Mall 's beauty from the goldsmiths the king fell for her and became impatient to make her his wife. He immediately sent a messenger with a wedding proposal to Mithil , and also said that the king of K is ready to give in return his kingdom.
The fame of goddess Mall 's beauty slowly reached up to the Kuru province. The fifth friend of king Mah bala, Vasu's soul, completing its time in the Jayanta vim na, became the king of Kuru named Ad na atru in the capital of the Kuru republic, Hastin pura. The younger brother of princess Mall was prince Malladinna. He loved painting and one day he organised a painting exhibition in the pleasure garden. Prince Malladinna, too, went to the exhibition. There he became awe-struck and shy seeing his elder sister Mall. Embarrassed, when he tried to walk away from his sister, his nursing mother told him the person the prince is seeing is not his real sister Mall but a life-like picture of hers. Hearing this he was angry and he ordered death sentence for the painter. When he learnt that the painter had not sketched Mall seeing her but imagined her full form based on sighting the princess' toe, impressed by the unparalleled art of the painter and based on the request of the important people and other great artistes, the artist's thumb was sliced off and he was ordered to be expelled. Displaced from Mithil , the artist reached Hastin pura. At Hastin pura he presented the goddess Mall's painting to the king Ad na atru. Seeing her picture and hearing her description the king Ad na atru became enamoured of her.
