Vararuci learned everything from the teacher Varṣa. He went with his friends once to see the Indra-festival. There, Vararuci happened to see Upakośā the daughter of Upavarṣa and fell in love with her. That night he did not sleep. At last he slowly closed his eyes. A divine woman clad in white garments appeared before him. It seemed to him that the woman said to him. “You need not worry in this matter. Upakośā was your wife in the previous birth. She will marry only you. I am Sarasvati who pervades your body.” Vararuci woke up. Next day the elders came to know of this, and gave her in marriage to Vararuci. - [Previous: c9.3870](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3870) - [Next: c9.3872](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3872) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3871](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.3871) · Pramāṇa
