King Nala was the king of Nishada. He was extremely handsome and had a good knowledge of horses.
Nala had heard about the divine beauty of Princess Damayanti. He fell in love with her without seeing her.
Similarly even Damayanti had heard about the good deeds and beauty of Nala and secretly she was loving him.
Damayanti 's father had arranged a swayamvara to his daughter where she can select her groom by herself.
Listening to the news, many princes had attended the swayamvara. Even God Yama, Agni and Varuna had attended.
But after knowing that Damayanti would select King Nala as her groom, all of Gods changed their appearance to that of Nala.
Damayanti without looking at any of the princes present there, directly came near Nala to garland him.
But to her horror, there were 4 Nala !!!
She realised that this must be the work of gods and prayed them to relieve their true identity.
Pleased with her prayers and her true love for Nala, gods have shown their true identity and blessed them.
