How can I do this? O Nārada of great intellect, O saintly lord Parvata, listen to what I say. If this splendid daughter of mine chooses one of you, I shall give him my daughter. Otherwise I am helpless.” After saying “So be it” they said—“We shall come again tomorrow.” The leading sages, who were devoted to Viṣṇu and who were the wisest of the wise went away delighted in their minds.
