VIJAYÃNANDA'S SECOND VISIT to LILĀVATI 921 1007 921-38) The king got an assurance from Vijayānanda that all this was not phantasy but a fact, nothing but true. He enquired why Pottisa is still there, whether Silāmegha would not have any ill will now and how the Siddha prince would meet them. The Destiny alone, the king realized, would bring about what Lilavati had seen in a dream, only if Mahānumati could meet her beloved; and when Madhavānila comes back, either he would go to Lilāvati or she would come to him. The situation appeared to him beyond human control ; Destiny alone could make or mar his fortune. His further ambition being a part and parcel of his very existence, the king requested Vijayananda, by the time Poffisa comes back, to go to and consult about the course of future events that very astrologer who had prophesied about Lilavati on the day she was born. While the king was thus conversing with Vijayananda, there arrived the minister Poțţisa ; and the rich spoils from the campaign were presented by him to the king. The king found there a bright necklace, worthy of being presented to Lilāvati, and asked Vijayānanda to go again to Lilavati to present it to her and return after doing the needful in the matter. Vijayānanda started accordingly.
