action. Have patience ... Have strength of mind .... Have equanimity." King Prahlad said endeavouring to console and comfort him. Queen Ketumati also weeping bitterly entreated her son not to leap into the fires. Prahasit and the Chief Minister were still going round by the airship expecting the arrival of other commanders and the Chief Commander. They were looking in all directions with anxious expectation.
Just then, they noticed the airship by which the Chief Commander and Manasveg were coming. Prahasit's heart bloomed into bliss like the daisy. Greatly delighted at the sight of the airship he shouted aloud ....
"Victory to King Prahlad. Our Chief Commander has returned with the noble lady Anjana." Then without even a moment's delay Prahasit took his airship towards Manasveg's airship. He hoisted the royal flag of Adityapur on his airship. In reply to this the Chief Commander also hoisted a flag on his airship. All their friends and companions were greatly delighted and gave out cries of victory which reverberated throughout the Bhuthvan. Prahasit was greatly delighted to see the noble lady Anjana and the boy, Hanuman sitting in Manasveg's airship. After having landed the airships at a safe place they went hurriedly towards the burning pyre. Pavananjay was standing there in a calm mood and with equanimity. Manasveg and Anjana went forward and bowed to the feet of King Prahlad.
King Prahlad shed tears of joy. He affectionately embraced Manasveg, the king of Vidyadhars. He took up the boy, Hanuman and placed him in his lap. Queen Ketumati looked towards Anjana and wept bitterly;
"Dear daughter! Kindly forgive me," Queen Ketumati tried to fall at her feet but she stopped her holding her hands.
"Mother, it is not your fault. All this is the result of the sin I committed in my Purvajanma... You were only an instrument not the cause ...." Anjana's words removed the load of guilt that was weighing upon the heart of Queen Ketumati. She was relieved of her anguish.
