Tapodutta was devastated and refused to accept Bhaskara as her husband. She remained faithful to Pushyamitra and tried to escape from Bhaskara's home several times. However, Bhaskara's men always caught her.
One day, Tapodutta heard about a famous Buddhist monk named Nagarjuna who was renowned for his wisdom. She sent him a letter asking for help. Nagarjuna came to Bhaskara's village and confronted him. Nagarjuna told Bhaskara that he was committing a great sin by keeping Tapodutta against her will and that he should let her go.
Bhaskara was convinced by Nagarjuna's words and agreed to let Tapodutta go. Tapodutta was reunited with Pushyamitra, and they were happily married.
Tapodutta's story is a reminder of the importance of women's rights and the need to protect women from violence. It is also a story about the power of faith and the importance of seeking help when needed.
