Hearing the words of the Gandharva, Indradyumna the son of Manu, broke that branch into thousand pieces by his arrows. Though the branch was destroyed, Indradyumna could not find where Vedavatī had fallen. She floated into a part of the forest. All alone she walked on and on and reached the temple of Śrīkaṇṭheśvara, on the bank of Yamunā. Damayantī who had reached the temple earlier and Vedavatī met each other and talked about their experiences. Thus due to the wickedness of the Viśvakarmā-monkey Jābāli the son of Ṛtadhvaja came to be tied, on to the banyan tree and Damayantī and Vedavatī to be staying helpless in the temple of Śrīkaṇṭheśvara.
