When they had been for some time seated there, Dhanamittra returned, accompanied by Upahâravarma, Pramati, Mitragupta, Mantragupta, Visruta, Prahâravarma King of Mithila, Kâmapâla lord of Benâres, and Sinhavarma King of Anga.
Chandavarma had some time before this asked in marriage Ambâlika, the daughter of Sinhavarma, King of Anga, and, indignant at a refusal, was now marching against him, to take vengeance for the insult, and get possession of the princess. Advancing therefore with a large army, he prepared to besiege Champa, the capital city.
No great search was made after me, and by keeping quiet and going out only at night I escaped further arrest. You know how Chandavarma besieged Champa, and how Sinhavarma was defeated and taken prisoner.
Simanta, a religious ceremony performed on behalf of a woman at a certain period of pregnancy. Sinhaghosha, the deposed King of Benâres. Sinhavarma, King of Anga, father of Ambâlika. Sitavarma, one of Râjahansa's ministers. Sringâlika, the nurse of Râgamanjari.
After a short time, with the consent of my wife, I resigned the crown, and reinstated my parents in their former position; retaining for myself the dignity of heir-apparent. Soon afterwards, a letter arrived from Sinhavarma, an old friend of my father's, congratulating him on his restoration, and asking for help against Chandavarma, who was marching to attack him.
Alaka, a mountain inhabited by Kuvera and the Yakshas. Ambâlika, the daughter of Sinhavarma, wife of Mantragupta. Amittravarma, King or Governor of Mahishmati. Anantavarma, King of Vidarba. Apahâravarma, son of Prahâravarma, and one of the nine companions of Râjahansa. Apsaras, heavenly females, nearly corresponding with the houris of the Mahometans.
Her brother was reconciled to me, and at my request, though very reluctantly, gave up all further attention to Chandrasena, who was happily united with her lover. When King Sinhavarma was attacked as you know, I marched with an army to his assistance; and have thus the great pleasure of meeting with you.
Sinhavarma, being of a very impatient and impetuous disposition, would not wait for the arrival of the allies who had been summoned to his assistance, and were then on the march; but throwing open the gates, went forth to meet the enemy. A terrible battle ensued, in which both kings performed prodigies of valour.
At last Sinhavarma was taken prisoner, and his army so completely defeated, that the conqueror entered and took possession of the city without opposition.
