Then Vayu spoke from the sky: 'Nala, she has committed no sin; I tell you the truth. O king, Damayanti's abundant treasury of virtue has been well guarded. We have been her witnesses and protectors for three years. This matchless device she devised for your sake: besides you, no other man here could cross a hundred yojanas in a single day. Bhaimi is worthy of you, and you are worthy of Bhaimi; harbor no doubt, be united with your wife.' As Vayu spoke thus, a shower of flowers fell, divine drums sounded, and an auspicious wind blew. Seeing this great wonder, King Nala, tamer of foes, cast off his suspicion of Damayanti. Then the lord of the earth put on that pure garment, and, remembering the king of serpents, regained his own true form.

Vayu's testimony lifts the last shadow between them. The return of Nala's form follows the return of trust: inner purification comes before outward restoration.
