In the forest, the sage Vibhandaka raised his son Rishyasringa, who had never encountered another person. King Romapada, facing famine, sought Rishyasringa's help, knowing his purity could bring rain. Courtesans were sent to entice Rishyasringa, who, captivated by their charms, agreed to visit their hermitage. The courtesans disguised a boat as an ashrama, luring Rishyasringa to Anga. There, rain fell as predicted, and Rishyasringa married Princess Shanta. Despite initial anger, Vibhandaka blessed the king and his son, who served both faithfully.
