After being impoverished, Sage Kautsa, a disciple of Vartantu, comes to Raghu, seeking 14 koti (million) gold coins as a gurudakshina.
[2] Expressing his inability to offer the sum, Raghu plans to plunder Kubera's treasury for wealth.
When the deity catches wind of this, he willingly fills the king's coffers with a rain of gold coins, which Raghu promptly offers to Kautsa.
After he comes of age, Raghu sends his son to attend the svayamvara of Princess Indumati of Vidharba, whom he successfully weds.
The story of Raghu ends in the eighth canto, where he retires to the forest after nominating Aja as the king.
