―What is that condition?‖<br />

―—just the one condition‖, Hanumaanji said ―The girl with whom my marriage is<br />

decided upon, if that girl marries me by her own will, only the I should be obliged to<br />

marry. And if the girl does not herself select me, then…‖<br />

―Very well Hanumaan!‖ said the Lord. ―I have already have a girl for you in mind.‖<br />

―You have surpassed expectation, Lord!‖, said Hanumaanji, clasping his hands. ―Who is<br />

that girl? Will you tell me her name?‖<br />

―Yes, Mother Kaikai‘s maid Mantharaa. She came wit Mother and she is unmarried from<br />

childhood. And she does not even look ugly anymore. How about we get your betrothal<br />

agreed to her?‖<br />

―O Lord, dear Lord!‖ <strong>Sai</strong>d Hanumaanji laughing. ―That evil one condemned you to<br />

fourteen years residence in the forest. By marying off with her, are you also condemning<br />

this servant of yours to live in the forest again?‖<br />

―No dear no‖, said the Lord smiling, ―She has now gone straight.<br />

Seated on the swing, Bhagvati Sitaaji was listnening to the comedy with a mild smile.<br />

Giving the paan refreshment in the hands of the Lord, she said: ―It is true Hanumaan! We<br />

have both the bridegroom in the house as also the bride! We just have to arrange the<br />

marriage party without any difficulty.‖<br />

Hanumaanji was dumb struck. He could not comprehend this meschief of the Lord. So<br />

the Lord took mahaavirji‘s as his consent. So he said: ― Very well then, we will call<br />

Mantharaa tomorrow and ask her.‖<br />

The time was midnight. Allhad succumbed to sleep in the palace, buy Mahaavir was<br />

deprived of sleep. He was concerned about breaking of his vow on one hand, on the other<br />

hand he was worried about failure to carry out is Lord‘s command.<br />

Hanumaanji stood up, and walked to Mantharaa‘s room. Mantharaa had just finished<br />

serving Kaikai and was preparing to go to bed. Just then, Mahaavirji knocked on her<br />

door. Mantharaa asked: ―Who is at the door this time?‖<br />

―It is me Hanumaan.‖<br />

Without cause Hanumaan going to someone‘s residence was not his behaviour, and<br />

where was the spare time from serving the Lord? So Mantharaa thought it must be<br />

something important, so opened the doors.<br />

Hanumaanji immediately straight off entered the room and said: ―Sri Raamji is<br />

considering getting me married to you.‖<br />
