Namuci was hurt and he decided in his mind to avenge this insult. Gripped by the feeling of revenge Namuci came to that garden in the darkness of the night with a naked sword, and seeing everyone fast asleep, he moved freely towards the young monk. He held the sword with both his hands in order to kill the monk and lifted his hands. He was about to bring down his hands with full force when he became still in that very posture, his hands remained in eth air and he could not even lift his legs. By mere thought of his bad condition, disgrace and stigma his face lost colour. The next day even before dawn the monks saw Namuci in this state, then the devotees who came to see the monks saw him, and slowly the word spread and the whole city came over to see Namuci in this state. People began to discuss about Namuci. The moment the effect of the stupefaction ended, hiding his face with hurt he went home. It was impossible for him to stay in Ujjayin ; hence he quietly left Ujjayin and wandering, reached Hastin pura.
Reaching Hastin pura Namuci came in contact with the crown prince Mah padma and slowly became his trusted aide. Mah padma also made him a minister. At that time a subordinate ruler of Hastin pura named Simharatha turned hostile. Looting the surrounding areas he would return to his fortress. The crown prince sent his army to capture Simharatha but did not succeed. In the end Mah padma instructed Namuci to capture and bring Simharatha. Namuci surrounded Simharatha's fortress from all sides and put obstructions at all the entry and exit points. Namuci also played a trick and bribed some of Simharatha's fortress gatekeepers and took them on his side and one day he entered Simharathaa's fortress with his army through a secret pathway and captured Simharatha. Mah padma was very pleased with this venture of Namuci's and asked him to ask for something. Namuci thanked Mah padma for this gesture and said 'O king, you may keep this promise of yours as my deposit I shall take it when the occasion arises.' Crown Prince Mah padma accepted the request of Namuci's. In time a heavenly cakra jewel appeared in Mah padma's armouryand he gained victory over the six divisions and became the master of nine treasures and 14 jewels and adorned with the title of cakravart. When he was seated on the throne of Hastin pura as cakravart emperor of Bharata, monk Suvrata came to Hastin pura with his disciples and upon request by the people there, agreed to stay during rainy season halt at a garden on the outskirts.
