Overview
At the end of The Fortunes of Shrikantha, the restored owner of a magical jewel asks for a daughter of the devas to live with him as his wife. A deva maiden descends with one hundred female companions, becomes his wife, and bears him one hundred sons. The short notice supplies no personal name, wings, separate parentage or later adventures; it is a specific celestial bride in Busk’s adapted tale, not a definition of all devas.
