Then a celestial voice said to her: "Cry not. If you are really chaste and true, enter the funeral pyre along with your husband." To this Suvedā answered thus: "I cry because of grief that he died before making me the mother of a son." The celestial voice said to her again: "You enter the pyre without weeping. Your husband will have seven sons." - [Previous: c9.1712](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1712) - [Next: c9.1714](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1714) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1713](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1713) · Pramāṇa
