King Nala, on the other hand, acknowledged the honour according to rules and offered his proper services to him (father-in-law). The citizens felt great delight to see Nala returned. Thereupon there was a great uproar of joy in the city.
तामहणां नलो राजा प्रतिगृह्य यथाविधि॥ परिचर्यां स्वकां तस्मै यथावत् प्रत्यवेदयत्। ततो बभूव नगरे सुमहान् हर्षजः स्वनः॥ जनस्य सम्प्रहृष्टस्य नलं दृष्ट्वा तथाऽऽगतम्।
