"Who is he 8?? -
Şanudev sạid : “This man is neither a thief nor a dacoit. He is prince Sen of Champanagari. I became unconscious because I could not bear to see him a prisoner.”
The king was sùrprised. He asked :
“Then how and why did he reach this tribe of thieves !!
Full details were given to the king He released them both. Pallipati was ordered to go. Sen was kept there as a friend. Şapudę also went away.
How strange is Destiny ! One moment this, the other moment, quite the reverse. Before some hours, Sen was treated as a guilty criminal, and now a friend.
Sen had no difficulty here. Only thing, he remember. Shantimati off and on. He was ailing from mental pain of separation.
