11.1.114

sa ca tāmādāya vadhūṃ sāśvavaśāṃ ruciradevamāmantrya /
naravāhanadattaḥ svāṃ kauśāmbīmāyayau nagarīm //

When that excellent merchant Chandrasára, who had accomplished his object, had gone, after prostrating himself before the prince, and telling his story, Ruchiradeva, pleased at beholding the greatness of his guest, was still more obsequious to him. And in addition to the elephant and the pair of horses, he gave his sister, making the duty of hospitality an excuse for doing so, to the prince who was captivated by her beauty. She was a good match for the prince, and her brother had long desired to bestow her upon him in marriage. Naraváhanadatta then took leave of Ruchiradeva, and with his new wife, the elephant, and the two horses, returned to the city of Kauśámbí And he remained there, gladdening his father with his presence, living happily with her and his other wives, of whom Madanamanchuká was the chief.
