A prince called Vasumanas, who happened to come that way on his fast-riding horse Jīmūta heard the lamentations of Hariṇī, and after killing Piṅgalākṣa he took her with him to her palace. The King of Videha and his subjects, who were in great anxiety and distress at the disappearance of Hariṇī felt really happy to have her back. And, all of them opined that Hariṇī should be married to Vasumanas. Accordingly the date for her Svayaṃvara was announced. But, on the day of the svayaṃvara Bhadraśreṇya, King of Hehaya who, along with other Kings was also present on the occasion, forcibly took Hariṇī and rode off with her. According to the condition laid down by Urvaśī for redemption from her curse Durmada was born as son of Hariṇī and he was named Durmada. - [Previous: c5.1141](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.1141) - [Next: c5.1143](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.1143) - [Up: c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.1142](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.1142) · Pramāṇa
