Although I have been deceived by thee as to the duties I owe towards a son, yet, O beautiful lady, from kindness I will act towards you both in a suitable manner. Therefore, do not fear, nor let this daughter of thine fear anything. Indeed, I have deceived the king of the Dasarnakas.

And that envoy, going unto king Hiranyavarman, the ruler of the Dasarnakas, said unto him, O monarch, the word that Drupada had entrusted him with. And he said, 'This my child is really a male. Let it be made clear by means of witness! Somebody has spoken falsely to thee.

I will grant thee even that which cannot be given! Tell me what thou hast to say! Thus assured, Sikhandini represented in detail everything that had happened, unto that chief of Yakshas called Sthunakarna. And she said, 'My father, O Yaksha, will soon meet with destruction. The ruler of the Dasarnakas marcheth against him in rage.

In consequence, again, of that offence of his, he became filled with fear. Sending his envoys again to the ruler of the Dasarnakas, king Drupada, afflicted with grief, approached his wife and took counsel with her.

I will exterminate thee with thy counsellors and sons and kinsmen! Having, in the midst of his counsellors, been made by that priest to hear those words fraught with censure and uttered by the ruler of the Dasarnakas, king Drupada then, O chief of Bharata's race, assuming a mild behaviour from motives of friendship, said, 'The reply to these words of my brother that thou hast said unto me, O Brahmana, will be carried to that monarch by my envoy! And king Drupada then, sent unto the high-souled Hiranyavarman a Brahmana learned in the Vedas as his envoy.

And the king, rejoiced as he was, gave unto Sikhandin much wealth, many elephants and steeds and kine. And after king Hiranyavarman, the ruler of the Dasarnakas had departed in joy and with his anger quelled, Sikhandin began to rejoice exceedingly. And it was decked with canopies, and scented incense. And it was also beautiful with standards and banners.

After this, the royal Drupada, that lion among kings, having enquired about the purity of descent, of all the rulers of the earth, selected the daughter of the king of Dasarnakas for wife to Sikhandin. He, who was called the king of the Dasarnakas was named Hiranyavarman; and he gave away his daughter to Sikhandin.

Let the wedding of this child with a wife be caused to be performed carefully. The words of that god will be true. This is my certain belief! Then that royal couple, having settled their resolution of that affair, chose the daughter of the king of the Dasarnakas as their son's wife.
