Nala, decked in all finery that deserved a king, then went to King Bhima with Damayanti. The king was thrilled to see him. The citizens of the country were also very happy to see Nala. Rituaparna was also very happy to hear that Nala had been reunited with Damayanti. He begged forgiveness but Nala said he was grateful to him. Nala then taught Rituparna all he knew about horses, and Rituparna in return taught Nala, all hew knew about the science of the game of dice.
Employing a charioteer, Rituparna then left for Ayodhya and Nala also left for his land.
He then aproached his cousin Pushkara and asked for a game of dice. Nala won back all that he had lost to Pushkara. Pushkara went back to his kingdom.
Nala lived happily in his kingdom, performing sacrifices and ruling as a just ruler.
When he was old, he made his son the king.
Thus ending his tale of Nala, the sage said to Yudhistira - Nala had suffered more than you. Bad luck will not stay for ever. It will pass.
The sage then took leave of the Pandavas.
