Yarzar M's summary:
The king of Ujjeni, Canda Pajjota, was once surveying his pleasure garden and asked if there was any soever with as much splendor as him, and one of his queen consorts answered king Udena, so Canda Pajjota decided to capture him. Since Canda knew that king Udena had an elephant charm, and he would go at many lengths to get any elephant he wanted, he created a magnificent mechanical elephant to lure king Udena in. This plan worked which led to king Udena becoming a captive of Ujjeni. Canda then devised a way to get his daughter to learn the charms and teach them to him, however, she and Udena ended up becoming lovers. Then Canda promised her a retinue of 500 women and making her her chief consort if she got him out of the Kingdom of Ujjeni and back to his kingdom, and so she started finding a way for both of them to escape.
