Some of their friends rushed to Alakā: and there arrived the Yaksa Nalakūbara accompanied by the Vidyadhara king Hamsa and his wife. Through Vijayānanda, Nalakūbara and Hamsa bestowed on Hala the boon of akşaya-nidhi, i. e., Inexhaustible Treasure, and conveyed to him that the wedding of Madhavānila would be immediately berformed but that of his with Lilavatı, after the arrival of king Silāmegha. On instructions from the king, both of them ( Madhavānila and Citrāngada) accompanied by Vijayānanda went forth in pomp, offered their respects to Nalakūvara who welcomed them and expressed loving words to their respective beloveds. The wedding of Madhavånila and Mahānumati was duly celebrated; and Citrärigada took his seat, with his eyes fixed on the face of his beloved. A messenger was sent by Lilavati to her paternal home. .
