King Kanakavarsha was stunned as Roladeva continued. “I realized that Madanasundari had heard about you and she has fallen in love with you.” Roladeva pulled out another parchment from his bag. “I drew a picture of Madanasundari and came to this kingdom as soon as I could.”
It was love at first sight for Kanakavarsha when he saw Madanasundari’s portrait.
The king later told his ministers that he had fallen in love with Madanasundari.
So then the ministers send an ambassador to King Devasakti to ask for the hand of his daughter for Kanakavarsha.
King Devasakti was impressed with the words of Sangamasvamin, the ambassador and after talking with his daughter, he agreed to marry his daughter to King Kanakavarsha.
After learning this, King Kanakavarsha then started for the city of Kundina.
On the way to the kingdom of Kundina, there were the dangerous tribe of Savaras and their wild and vicious beasts in the border forests.
King Kanakavarsha got on Asikala, his horse and fought with the Savaras and destroyed them.
Then the king went to the kingdom of Kundina.
There King Devasakti married his daughter Madanasundari to King Kanakavarsha.
After that King Kanakavarsha brought his queen back to his own kingdom.
