While Prince Brajmukut was waiting for his friend, Ratanraj, on his part, was also looking for his missing friend. After searching for a long time, he found Brajmukut. Ratanraj saw the prince’s sad face and asked, “Why are you so sad? What happened?” The prince told him everything about the princess. Ratanraj heard everything and laughingly asked, “What do you wish to do now?” Brajmukut replied, “I think I have fallen in love with the princess. I wish to marry her. But I do not know whether she likes me or not.” Ratanraj again laughed and said, “She loves you.” Brajmukut, “How do you know?” Ratanraj replied, “She has told you everything about herself through different signs. When she put the lotus near her ear, it meant she belonged to Karnataka. When she trampled the lotus under her feet, it meant that her name is Padmavati.”
