In which Budha loves woman-formed Ilā for a month, detains man-restored Ila a year, and receives newborn Purūravas
Rāma resumes Ila tale for wondering Lakṣmaṇa and Bharata — Budha loves consenting masterless Ilā and enjoys Mādhava month — Man-formed Ila wakes and asks Budha for missing army — Budha claims hailstorm slew servants and Ila slept sheltered — Grieving Ila vows to yield kingdom to son Śaśabindu — Budha consoles Ila and bids him dwell a year — Ila dwells alternating womanly delight and manly duty — Ilā bears Purūravas in ninth month and gives child to Budha — Budha comforts man-formed king with righteous tales
