Sahasrānīka anointed his son Udayana as the heir to his throne, and appointed Yaugandharāyaṇa, Rumanvān and Vasantaka, the sons of three ministers, as ministers of Udayana. At the time of the anointment there was a shower of flowers from the sky and an unknown voice said “With the help of these ministers Udayana would bring the whole of the earth under his control.” After a time Sahasrānika went to the Himālayas with his wife for penance. 5). Vāsavadattā became Udayana’s wife. A daughter was born to the king of Ujjayinī. Her name was Vāsavadattā. Her father Caṇḍamahāsena decided to give her in marriage to Udayana the king of Vatsa. How to bring this to pass? Caṇḍamahāsena and Udayana had been enemies. Finally he found out a way. It was to entrust Vāsavadattā to Udayana (who was a great teacher of music) for teaching her music. Ultimately he would fall in love with her and thus Udayana would become his son-in-law. This was the plan. - [Previous: c9.3412](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3412) - [Next: c9.3414](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3414) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3413](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3413) · Pramāṇa
