ìHow strange that the Creator, who has made you so lovely, should have given
you a crazy fellow for a bridegroom ! A fruit which should have adorned the wish-yielding
tree is helplessly appearing on a thorny Babµula. Taking you in my arms I would sooner
fall from a mountain-top, cast myself into the flames or drown myself into the sea. Let
my home be ruined and let me earn a bad reputation throughout the world; but in no case
would I marry you with this maniac so long as there is life in me.î

ìWhat harm have I done to Nårada that he should have ruined my happy home
and tendered such advice to Umå as made her undergo penance for securing a crazy
husband? In good sooth the sage is passionless and without affection; he has no wealth,
no dwelling and no wife and is indifferent to all. That is why he destroys othersí homes.
He has neither shame nor fear. What does a barren woman know of the pains of
childbirth?î Seeing Her mother distressed, Bhavån∂ addressed the following soft yet
prudent words to her. ìWhatever is ordained by Providence cannot be altered. Realizing
this be not worried, mother. If I am destined to have a crazy husband, why should
anyone be blamed for it? Can you alter the decree of Providence? Therefore, take no
reproach on you unnecessarily.î (1ó4)
