After the boat was sunk, Chandara-kumāra swam to the port of Pātalībutta city. On the way back home, he helped a snake and an elephant, and these animals offered him magic objects. One day, Chandara-kumāra met three daughters of a rich man who were swimming. They were lost and could not find the way out from a cave. Chandara-kumāra brought them home and finally married the three women. Chandara-kumāra left the city of Pātalīputta searching for his separated wife. During the journey, he met Brahmacārī who was chased away by Sudassana-kumāra. Chandara-kumāra brought Brahmacārī back to her own home.
