A vasena was enraged with anger when he heard Ku asthala's messenger. He said – “How dare that wicked man think of attacking you when I am here?” Saying this he declared war. When P r vakum ra heard the war-trumpets he went to his father and hearing about the situation, said – “What is the need for you to go? I am enough to teach that Yavana a lesson, I do not foresee any great effort in this.” Hearing his son's excitement he allowed him to go to war. Pr van tha sent a messenger to the king of Kalimga that king Prasenajita has taken refuge in king A vasena, hence he should give up the idea of attacking Ku asthala. The king of Kalimga in turn sent the message that he needn't interfere in this. 'Let us hope you do not lose your life at my hands unnecessarily before your time.' P r van tha was of course the ocean of compassion. He did not get angry with the Yavana king, but sent a messenger back to him to make him understand. Listening to the messenger's words, the Yavana king said – “it seems you have some enmity with your master that you are forcing him to fight with me.”
Hearing these words of the Yavana king his minister said – "Oh king, you are not aware of P r van tha's greatness. Indra too bows down to his strength; hence it is for everybody's well-being that we all take refuge in Pr van tha." The minister's self-beneficial teaching had an impact on the Yavana king and reaching P r van tha, he sought forgiveness. Pr van tha too gave him freedom from fear and respectfully bade him farewell. At the same time the king of Ku asthala Prasenajita came with his daughter Prabh vat and said “In the same way as you have protected us and our kingdom on our request, please heed the prayers of my daughter and myself and marrying her, do us a favour.” Pr van tha said – “Oh king! I came here based on my respected father's permission to protect your kingdom, not to marry your daughter. Hence do not request me at this time in vain.” Saying so P r van tha returned to Varanasi with his army.
Prasenajita too took his daughter and came to Varanasi with P r va. He said to king A vasena - "Please be kind enough to accept my o for prince P r vakum ra." King A vasena called P r va and told him - “Prince! Prasenajita's daughter Prabh vat is endowed with all qualities; we would also like that you accept her as your wife." Unable to put off his father's request, in order to destroy the enjoyment karmas, Pr vakum ra married Prabh vat.
