[ 1170
I saw a beautiful girl, an ascetic's daughter, plucking flowers there. Finding ourselves mutually worthy, I married her by the Gandharva form of marriage. While both of us were quite happy, the ascetic rebuked me and cursed me that I should be born among the Raksasas, to be set free after twelve years with my demonic head cut by a king: that curse is now over'. The king felt happy to see that the fate was becoming favourable. He narrated to Citrangada all about Kuvalayavali and requested him to go to her.
