Māndhātā did not like to give his daughter in marriage to the old hermit. Concealing his thought, he told the hermit as follows:— "Out of my fifty daughters, she who wishes to be your wife, shall be given to you." Saubhari, who had already read the thought of Māndhātā entered the harem in the shape of a handsome youth, and all the fifty damsels liked him. Thus Saubhari married and, begot hundred sons of each of them.
