Śrīdatta grew up and became an expert in archery. Kālanemi's younger brother, Vigatabhaya left home and went on a pilgrimage after his wife's death by snake-bite. Kālanemi's king, Vallabhaśakti was pleased with Śrīdatta and invited him to live in the palace. In this way, he became the intimate friend of the king's son, Vikrama Śakti. After that, Bāhuśāli and Vajramuṣṭi, the princes of Avanti became the friends of Śrīdatta. Mahābala, Vyāghrabhaṭa, Upendrabala and Niṣṭhūraka, who were the Minister's sons, also sought the protection of Śrīdatta.
