They told among themselves thus: "Our mother eternal Samādhi, but this brother of ours, who courted death on behalf of father is really blessed." Then Śivaśarman asked his third son Dharmaśarman to receive his brother's head. He received it and went out with it and prayed to Dharmadeva, who, on his appearance, was requested to restore Vedaśarman to life. Dharmadeva did so, and the first question asked by Vedaśarman, who returned to life as though awakened from sleep, was about the woman, whom he had brought as his father's wife.
