Hearing Sudeva's words, Sunandā washed away the dirt that concealed the birthmark. Once the dirt was removed, Damayantī's mark shone like the moon in a cloudless sky. Seeing it, Sunandā and the queen mother, weeping, embraced Damayantī and stood so for a while. Then the queen mother, wiping away her tears, said: "You are my sister's daughter; this birthmark has revealed you. I and your mother are daughters of the great king Sudāman, lord of Daśārṇa. She was given in marriage to King Bhīma, and I to the hero Subāhu. I saw you when you were born in your father's house in Daśārṇa. Your father's house is as this house, fair one; my wealth, Damayantī, is likewise yours."
