Gunadhip fell in love with her immediately. The girl also liked him. She asked him, “Do you like me?” “Yes,” replied Gunadhip. She replied, “See me tomorrow at this very place. I shall meet you here at this time only.” Saying so, the girl went away. Gunadhip returned to the palace. He told the King everything. The King told Gunadhip that he would also accompany him the other day. Gunadhip agreed happily. He was so excited that he could not sleep the whole night. The next day, King Shoorsen and Gunadhip reached the lake. The girl was already there and waiting for him. The girl saw the King and asked Gunadhip, “Who is he?” Gunadhip replied, “He is our King, King Shoorsen of Magadha. Bow before him.” The girl bowed before the King to pay her respects and then said something very shocking, “I would like to marry him.”
