Sumantra told the king, that Rishyasringa was staying in the land of Anga, in the house of Lompada.
Dashratha wanted to know why Rishyasringa went to Anga.
Sumnatra said :
Once there was a massive drought in the land. There was no rain for twelve years. The king was told Vibhandak's son Rishysringa would be the person who be able to get rains in the land.
The king made an announcement, who ever will be able to get Rishyasringa would be give half the kingdom.
An old lady said she would bring Rishyasringa. He was fourteen years of age and he had no distinction between men and women.
She asked for a boat, which would like a house with trees on it. She said she would go with the boat and fetch the sage.
The boat was built. It had two separate huts and was surrounded by fruit bearing trees. Sweet fruits and sweets were loaded onto the boat. In barrels of water, sweeteners were mixed to make it sweet and camphor was added to keep it cool.
A few very beautiful young ladies were selected to accompany the old woman. The girls were afraid of curses, but the old lady told them not to worry. She said when she was young she had enticed many sages and she know what to do.
