Śāntā

Role: the king’s daughter · First appears: Chapter XV

In Chapter XV, Śāntā, one of the king’s daughters, told The king of Vārāṇasī, “O king, if that be the case, be not disturbed.” He permitted her plan to distract the Rishi from his penances, allowing her and other women to be taught mystic lore and a hermitage to be built on a ferry-boat. There, Ṛshyaśringa gave himself up to pleasure with the women, and his magic power vanished. The king then gave Śāntā to the Rishi as his wife, together with her attendants.
