When the mighty lion fell in battle, the hero too met his end, yet even in his last moments he struck the lion with his mace and let out a resounding roar. At that point, urged on by the Buddhist lion, a fierce tiger was unleashed upon the field. Witnessing both of his maternal uncles slain, the son of Svarṇavatī acted swiftly. He seized an auspicious and enchanting arrow called Saṃmohana and, with it, bound the Buddhist lions and ten thousand kings in its spell. All those who had been thus ensnared rejoiced, sending messages and making their way to the city. Having plundered with force, they reached the king’s fortress. Then, Jayanta released the Buddhist lion who had arrived at that time. In celebration, ten crores of gold and wealth were distributed among them. Declaring their resolve, they said, “We shall never return to the land of the Aryas for the sake of a kingdom,” and those three hundred thousand warriors, united, went to the house of the guardians of the realm. Curious about the fate of Supriya, Yogasimha, and others, the wise one was asked to recount their story. Sorrowful, a god approached Mahendra, the king of the gods, and offered salutations: “O king of the gods, doer of what pleases all the deities, now the order of the world seems to be violated on earth.” Hearing these words, Mahendra, by his divine power, rejoiced together with the gods at the victory of his own son, Jayanta. Yet at that time, Indula was distressed, and Śāradā, bringer of all auspiciousness, was also troubled. Thus, O Brahmin, the tale has been told to you; now hear further the auspicious story. After giving out gold measured as ten crores, distributed equally among them, arrangements were made for the departure of the eight mighty warriors. By the actions of Kāmāpāla, along with Lakṣaṇa and Nakulāṃśaka, the story continued. O Jayachandra, greatly fortunate one, listen closely. Thus, Lakṣaṇa, the heroic one, was to come to me alone. The mighty king of the earth, knowing Lakṣaṇa was accompanied by an army, considered these words carefully and, with a clear mind, summoned and sent the wise Kāmāpāla. Padmākara, the brother-in-law, learned that Lakṣaṇa had arrived. Lakṣaṇa and Nakulāṃśa, upon seeing their enemy, caused the king of the earth to faint and slew five hundred strong men. Recovering, the king of the earth went to Padmākara and announced, “A great royal umbrella, a mark of distinction, has come to your house.” Hearing this, Padmākara, driven by greed, gave them deadly poison, killed those hundred heroes, and concealed the deed. When the lotus-faced woman learned of this treachery, she was overcome with deep sorrow and lamented greatly. Then, the goddess—pleased, bestower of boons and all-auspicious—appeared to her in a dream and instructed, “Chant the mantra hrīṃ phaṭ gheghe.” Understanding the goddess’s words, the heroic Lakṣaṇa recited the mantra. Tālana, joined by two others, set out for Kalyakubja; knowing the purpose, they assumed yogic forms. Dhānyapāla carried a bronze vessel, while Tālana bore a vīṇā. In their yogic forms, they entered the assembly of Parimala. The king, pleased with their presence, placed a pearl necklace upon his own neck. All of them, delighted, then proceeded to Kṛṣṇāṃśa, and the hero, accompanied by Tālana and his companions, journeyed to Bindugaḍha. There, gathering in the marketplace, they held an auspicious festival of dance. During the celebration, all the women present, enchanted by the hero’s singing, became spellbound and freely gave their wealth. At that moment, the lotus-faced woman, adorned with all auspicious marks, was present, and the tale continues.
