The marriage proposal was accepted by Udayana and wearing garlands and marks that would not fade Padmāvatī entered the wedding dais. Udayana married Padmāvatī. Yaugandharāyaṇa made the King of Magadha take an oath that he would go for no more aggression. Udayana and his people reached Kauśāmbī. On the way the King happened to see the mark on the forehead and the garland on the neck of Padmāvatī and asked her who had made them. Padmāvatī told the King the story of Avantikā. Udayana was definite that Avantikā was Vāsavadattā herself. Avantikā was brought before the King. Padmāvatī congratulated Vāsavadattā. Both of them loved each other and lived together as the loving wives of Udayana.
