Both Approach
Vishnu
Narada went to Vishnu. "0 Lord, I wish to marry Sreemati, the daughter of Amba-
reesha. But Parvata has the same desire. Ambareesha said that Sreemati might be allowed to
choose her husband. He will hold a Swayamvara. Make the face of Parvata look like that of
a monkey only to Sreemati at the time of Swayamvara, so that she will choose me
only," he prayed offering his salutations to Him. Vishnu could not help laughing at
this desire of so
saintly a person as Narada. He replied with a smile, "All right. It will be so.
"
Parvatgt did not know about this meeting of Narada with Vishnu. He too approached Vishnu
and expressed his desire to marry Sreemati. "At the Swayamvara, make the face of
Narada appear like the face of a bear to Sreemati, while to others it may be the usual
face, 0 Lord", he requested.
Parvata also was a great sage. Vishnu smiled and said, "Granted." |
