One night Devī appeared in dream to her and told her that marriage with Sudarśana would take place, and at those words of Devī she awoke from sleep and began laughing. Though her mother asked Śaśikalā about the reason for her laughing thus, she answered not, but continued laughing. One day while she was picnicking in the Campaka forest, an old brahmin came there and described to her about the great personality and beauty of Sudarśana, who then was staying with his mother at Bharadvājāśrama. Śaśikalā's heart yearned to be with Sudarśana. - [Previous: c9.1469](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1469) - [Next: c9.1471](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1471) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1470](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1470) · Pramāṇa
