Sāvitrī grew up as though Lakṣmī had taken an incarnation and bloomed into a beautiful damsel. But nobody came forward to marry her. On a New moon day she bathed and purified herself and getting the blessings of Brahmins, came and bowed before her father. The King felt sorry as nobody had offered to marry her though she was in the full bloom of youth. He advised her to travel in the outside world and to select a husband by herself. According to the order of her father she took the aged ministers of the King and travelled through the forests in which hermits lived. - [Previous: c9.1743](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1743) - [Next: c9.1745](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1745) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1744](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1744) · Pramāṇa
