Then
Kusumamba drew her for motherly embrace, when Kusuma Sreshti rushed
out of the chamber to make arrangements for the accomplishment of
divine bidding. As soon as he communicated his daughter's firm,
unalterable determination of Agnipravesa, the elders of 102 gotrikas
burst into ecstatic raptures and let out with voice "Hail
Vasavi Mata hail! O Vasavi darling, you are no other than Jaganmatha,
your decision is siroradhya even for the highest celestials; we feel
our earthly existence and allegiance to your family become deathless
and the glory ever shine like the morning star". Forthwith they
assisted Kusurna Sreshti in sending a messenger with the negative
reply to the emperor as agreed upon.
