Verse 18

¹³There is a lord of gandharvas known as Candavega, king, and his strong gandharvas number three hundred and sixty. ¹⁴And gandharva women as many as they, their mates, some white and some black. Circling round and round, they plunder the city that was built for every desire. ¹⁵When those followers of Candavega set about carrying off Puranjana's city, the wakeful one there held them off. ¹⁶Alone against seven hundred and twenty, the strong watchman of Puranjana's city fought the gandharvas for a hundred years. ¹⁷As his one kinsman wore thin, fighting so many, he was stricken, and fell into deep worry, he with his land and his city and his people.

¹⁸But there in the city among the Pancalas he went on tasting sweetness, taking the tribute his attendants brought him, beaten by his wife, and never saw the danger.
