King Sahasranika and Mrigavati

Then the hermit handed over to him that Queen Mrigavati with her son, regained by the king after a long separation, like tranquility with joy. That sight, which the husband and wife obtained of one another, now that the curse had ceased, rained, as it were, nectar into their eyes, which were filled with tears of joy. The king embracing that son Udayana, whom he now saw for the first time, could with difficulty let him go, as he was, so to speak, riveted to his body with his own hairs that stood erect from joy....Sivkishen Ji, Author
