Suddenly a hunter, roaming the dense forest, heard her cry and swiftly ran toward her. Seeing the long-eyed woman seized by the serpent, he hastened forward and with a sharp weapon cut through the serpent's mouth, killing it, then freed Damayanti, washed her with water, comforted her, gave her food, and asked: 'Whose are you, doe-eyed one? How did you come to this forest? How did you, lovely one, fall into such great distress?' Damayanti, thus questioned by him, told him everything just as it had happened.
