________________ Bhanuvega was laughing on me as he came to know the actual matter. (130-156). In the meanwhile, our maidservant Chutalata informed us that Somalata, the foster mother of Kanakamala is waiting for you at the door. She came and clarified the whole matter that Kanakamala was also feeling not well after seeing the Chitravega. She is remembering the same scene again and again which she enjoyed. Her face is looking like eclipsed moon. She is likely to be fainted. So we are now in great trouble and it is utmost importance to console her at any cost (156-193). After her death everything would be futile. Then I asked who is Kanakamala and why is she in trouble. Better you ask to Bhanuvega because I am a guest in this city. Then Somalata told me that you are the reason behind the pathetic condition of Kanakamala. You are behaving as if it is not known to you. Then I asked Somalata what should I do? She replied that you can send a letter or your photograph to console her. Then I wrote a letter to Chutalata saying that a black bee is always fond of lotus putting aside all other flowers. Then I handed over the letter to Somalata putting beetle (tambula) in between other letters and both went to Kanakamala. (193-207). They found Kanakamala unconscious. Friends of Kanakamala told her that a messenger has come from Citravega. By hearing this, she became conscious. Kanakamala asked Cutalata regarding the letter and showed her curiosity to meet me. Then she again became unconscious. I was suggested to meet her in the garden in morning otherwise she would die. Then I realized that I have fallen in love with Kanakamala. I wanted to meet and marry her. But I was not sure as to when my dreams would be fulfilled. Then Cutalata told me, do not worry. You can meet her in the morning. Anyhow, I passed that long night and the sun rose in the east. Oh! Supratistha I was very happy that today I would meet my darling (207-250). Here the third chapter ends.
