80. The gods were thankful for the total absence
of winking in their eyes, as they were looking on with
fixed gaze, the flight (of the two heroes), their bodies

81. Kampana's sword, reflecting as it did, the
image of the Sambuvarāya monarch, looked like a

the celestial nymphs.
82. Then escaping deftly a sword thrust, king
Kampana despatched the Sambuvarāya (monarch) as

83. Having thus reduced (killed) the Sambuva-
raya in the field of battle, king Kampaņa received the
decree of his father that he should rule (the territory
thus conquered). With the fame of his victory duly
established in Kanci, he inaugurated a just and
prosperous rule over Tundiramandalam destroying all
confusion in castes and religious orders.
Thus ends the fourth canto of Virakamparāya
çaritam, called Madhurāvijayam, composed by Sri Gangā
Dēvi.
