straight at Stambha T rtha, he directly went to Devacandra Sri's monastery. Out of wrath his face turned crimson. But because of his inherent culture, he slightly bent down his head and offered venerations to c rya. At the first glance itself Devacandra S ri recognised the turbulent emotions of C ciga by reading his facial expressions and tried to placate him with sweet nectar-like words. Even the feudatory minister of Stambha T rtha was present there at that time. Listening to the very first sentence of c rya's conversation, Udayana guessed that the stranger was C ciga, the father of the brilliant boy Camgadeva.
Minister Udayana brought merchant C ciga to his mansion on a ca drawn by eight horses for extending hospitality to him, i.e. to offer drink and for resting. At the same time Camgadeva came running and embracing tightly the knees of Udayana with his tiny hands and asked, “O! Best of the Ministers! Why did you come so late?”
Udayana fondly patting the boy on his cheeks said, “Behold! Intelligent Camga! Who has come to our place?” saying this Udayana ordered his servants to make arrangements for C ciga to refresh.
The boy looked in the direction shown by Udayana and with gesture said *Father! When did you come?” Questioning thus, he touched the feet of his father. C ciga hugged his son and repeatedly kissed him on his forehead.
"Father! I learnt reading and writing. The minister himself teaches me. He is very good. ! Do you know this minister? Udayana Bapp !"
When C ciga refreshed himself, Udayana made him sit beside him and personally took care of him when he was dining. Udayana's noble behavior and warm hospitality left a deep impression in the heart of C ciga.
Later both of them took rest for some time. C ciga was relieved of his weariness.
When C ciga became fully relaxed and composed Udayana started the conversation, “O, Best of Merchants! Your son Camgadeva is blessed with unprecedented extraordinary wisdom and miraculous brilliance.
