In the meantime, Jūjaka had travelled sixty leagues with the children, whom the devas cared for and protected. Guided by the devas, they arrived in fifteen days at Jetuttara, though Jūjaka had intended to go to Kāliṅga. Sañjaya bought the children from Jūjaka, paying a high price, including the gift of a seven-storeyed palace. But Jūjaka died of over-eating, and as no relation of his could be traced, his possessions came back to the king. Sañjaya ordered his army to be prepared and a road to be built from Jetuttara to Vaṅkagiri, eight usabhas wide. Seven days later, led by Jāli, Sañjaya and Phusatī started for Vaṅkagiri.
