c12.64

One day the captain of the ship announced that the ship had reached an uninhabited island which had a deep pool of sweet water. He ordered the voyagers to proceed there and bring back fresh water. Here Maheshvaradatta saw a chance of getting rid of Narmadasundarī. He took his wife with him and asked her to rest in the forest till he returned. After reaching the ship he told his friends that some demon had devoured her. The ship sailed from the island and his evil design was fulfilled. Narmadasundarī after many adventures managed to meet her father who brought her back home.
