English Commentary
Thus prompted by king Dasaratha, Sumantra said, "I shall relate to you the manner in which Rsyasringa was brought to the court. Listen to me along with your ministers". Sumantra narrates the manner in which Rsyasringa was brought to Anga--Romapada sends courtesans to lure Rsyasringa and to get him to faminestricken Anga--rains follow ending famine Rsyasringa marries Santa, daughter of Romapada.
