Six more years passed. The prince became eleven years old. By this time Bharadvāja had taught the prince Vedas, Śāstras, etc. The prince was a devotee of Devī. Devī appeared before him and gave him a bow and a quiver which would never become empty, and an impenetrable armour. Sudarśana married Śaśikalā the daughter of the King of Kāśī. Niṣāda, the King of Śṛṅgiverapura, was a friend of Dhruvasandhi. He gave Sudarśana a chariot which Sudarśana rode through the forest. With the help of the King of Kāśī and others Sudarśana recaptured Ayodhyā. He made Vidulla his minister and ruled over the country for a long time. (Devī Bhāgavata, Skandha 3).
