Next day there was a long queue of people suffering from poisoning. The king himself started grinding the herb in water and treating the patients.
One day a snake bit the princess of Mangalavati, a neighbouring kingdom. On getting the news King Harishen came to Mangalavati. He put a few drops of the medicinal water in the mouth of the princess.
O sage ! please save her life.

Sire! You are great You have given me a new life
Soon the Uprincess will regain
consciousness
As the news spread, hundreds of patients from far and near poured in and the king was busy treating them.
In no time the princess regained consciousness. All present there thanked King Harishen. The queen joined her palms and requested -
One day king Harishen and queen Pritimati went for an outing. When the royal couple was resting under a tree on the bank of a river they saw a wild elephant approaching
Sire ! We had declared that the princess will be
married to the noble person who cures her of the
poison.
Oh ! A wild elephant! It may
attack
When Harishen gave his consent Pritimati was married to him with great pomp and show.
The queen hid behind the king's back.
