Accordingly Nārada became a monkey and Parvata lived in hell. At this juncture Sañjaya's ministers advised him to marry his daughter to a prince, and the news made her very sad. Sañjaya understood the reason for his daughter's sadness from her nurse. The father had ultimately to yield to her wishes and Damayantī married Nārada, who had been turned into a monkey. Hundred years rolled by, and Parvata, the period of his curse being over, returned to the palace of Sañjaya. Nārada treated Parvata duly well, and pleased at the treatment, he gave redemption to Nārada from the curse. Nārada lived very happily with Damayantī for a long time at the palace, and after the demise of Damayantī he attained Brahmaloka. (Bhāgavata, 7th Skandha).
