To appease Vidhāṇḍaka, Lomapāda sent him rich presents and much wealth. When Vibhāṇḍaka returned to his āśrama he was met by the King's servants who had brought the presents and wealth. Ignoring them and their rich presents, the furious Maharṣi set out to the city of Campā, the capital of the Aṅga Kingdom. At the royal command, Vibhāṇḍaka was welcomed by the people with honour. When the sage found that the whole kingdom belonged to his son, his anger was allayed. After ordering his son to return to his āśrama after the birth of a son, Vibhāṇḍaka left the palace. As a result of Ṛṣyaśṛṅga's yāga there was rainfall in Aṅga and famine ended. After the birth of his child he returned to the forest as ordered by his father. (M.B. Araṇya Parva, Chapters 110-112).
