Vidyāpati laved his person in the sin-destroying waters of the Rohiṇa Kuṇḍa, some-how without changing his bimanal form, devoutly worshipped the image, and with a heart full of profound faith, returned to his royal master, and reported what he had seen. He, likewise, presented to the king the sanctified garland which he had got from the neck of the image. The king was overwhelmed with emotion ; he shed tears of joy, and, while receiving the sanctified garland, resolved to repair to the sacred grove, establish his metropolis there, and devote the rest of his days to the adoration of the holy image.
