They sprinkled some water on the young man and chanted some mantras. And soon, the young man regained his consciousness and sat upright. Then Krantideva asked him, “Who are you? What happened to you?” The young man replied, “I am Bhairon Datta. I hit my head against the tree and lost my consciousness.” Krantideva then went away but Shantideva stayed on. Bhairon told him about the princess. Shantideva offered to help Bhairon Datta attain his love. Bhairon Datta was very happy to hear this. Shantideva took out a pill from his bag. He gave it to Bhairon Datta and said, “When you put it in your mouth, you will transform into a girl. And when you take it out, you will be yourself. But do not swallow the pill or use it for wrong purposes.” Bhairon Datta was very happy to get the pill. He asked, “How will I meet the princess?” Shantideva told him the plan.
