Once the mountain Kolāhala driven by amorous desires subdued Śuktimatī. The next morning on finding no river in its place the people were surprised. The news reached the ears of the King. He became furious and rushing to the mountain gave it a hard kick. It created a hole in the mountain and the river flowed through it. But by that time Kolāhala had got a son and a daughter of Śuktimatī. Greatly pleased at the King for setting her free from Kolāhala, Śuktimatī gave her children to the King. The King brought up the son and made him the chief of his army. The girl was brought up and named Girikā and when she was of marriagable age the King married her. - [Previous: c7.343](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.343) - [Next: c7.345](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.345) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.344](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.344) · Pramāṇa
