things and people near a temple. When he saw that a young girl being chased by the elephant fell down on the ground, he saved the girl and took her to another safe place. Then the relatives of the girl came and took her to their home. When they started to their home Citragati and the girl exchanged their rings as both were attracted to each other. Citragati was now thinking how to get the girl. All the time he was thinking about the girl. He spent his night at the temple. In the morning when he was going to father of that girl, he saw that the full city ahead him was without any resident. He asked about this strange to a man near by him, he replied that Kanakaprabha, the king of this city overcoming with passions, flown over this Jina temple and his all Vidyās were lost. Knowing that Jwalanaprabha has got all the Vidyas, Kanakaprabha ran away to get shelter with the Gandhavāhana, the king of Gangavarta and the people of this kingdom also fled from the city. (115-203)
Citragati thought that how it would be possible to find the girl particularly when he does not know the name or surname of the girl. He then decided to visit all Vidyādhara nagaras and started with north range of Vaitāļhya mountains to south range. When he came to a garden of Kunjaravarta nagar, he found some auspicious gesture, which fastens his hope to meet her. While thinking he felt asleep in the ga rden. After sometime he awaked hearing the call of Citravega and saw him trying to hang himself on the tree. Hearing his story Citravega told that now these all talks are useless because she is going to be married today night. Then Citragati told Citravega that there is one way to get back the girl. He told that this is a custom of the Vidyadharas of south range that the girld to be married worships Kāmadeva alone and then gets married. So she would definitely come to Kāmadeva temple. When she would enter in the temple, you just take Kanakamālā out and myself wearing the clothes of girl would go to the groom. And thereafter I would join you. By this way the God's preaching would come true and we will also get that we want. Citravega agreed with the proposal and said o Supratiştha! I am really in deep attachment with Kanakamālā.
Here the 5th pariccheda ends.
