His queen, Bhânumatî, was the most beautiful of all the ladies in the three regions. She was matchless, like the Goodess Lakṣmî, and excelled all the beautiful ladies of her time. She was dearer than life to the king. She shone like Lakṣmî, even in a group of 10,000 ladies.—19-20. Thousands, aye, millions of Râjas, could not be compared to him. On one occasion, that remarkable sovereign, whilst seated on his throne, asked his Purohita, the sage Vasiṣṭha, with mind full of bewilderment.—21.
