He went to some place on the banks of the Narmadâ, whence he went to the Rikṣavanta hills and settled there along with others. There he married a noble lady, named Chaitrâ. He did not marry any other lady, in spite of his not getting any children from his wife Chaitrâ. Sometime after, the King Jyâmagha brought a beautiful damsel as a booty of his victory in a war; and said to the queen, through fear of her, that she was a daughter-in-law; whereupon the queen, amazingly enquired whose son’s wife she was.—31-34.
