Accordingly as Gomukha said in the presence of NaravÄhanadatta: â€�... that king [MahÄvarÄha] had a daughter named ´¡²Ô²¹á¹…g²¹°ù²¹³Ù¾±, born to him by his wife Padmarati, owing to his having propitiated GaurÄ«; and he had no other children. And in course of time she [´¡²Ô²¹á¹…g²¹°ù²¹³Ù¾±] attained womanhood, and, proud of her beauty, she did not wish to have any husband, though kings asked her in marriageâ€�.

Accordingly, â€�... when King VÄ«radeva had heard this [Åšiva’s] voice from heaven, he returned to his city [UjjayinÄ«] with his consort, having gained all he desired. There he first had a son born to him, named SÅ«radeva, and after a time Queen Padmarati gave birth to a daughter. And her father gave her the name of ´¡²Ô²¹á¹…g²¹°ù²¹³Ù¾±, on the ground that she was beautiful enough to inspire love in the breast of KÄmaâ€�.
