Nor did be worry about his daughter's marriage. Manekbai 'one day said, to Narsi: "Sethji! Our daughter is old enough to marry. We are poor. Why don't you ask some rich people for money to marry her off?" Narsi replied: "Listen to me, my dear. Last night God Krishna of Dwaraka came to me in my dream. He said, 'Narsi. do not worry about your daughter's marriage. Send somebody to Dwaraka with a hundi for any amount of money Address it to Seth Samaldas. He will give you the money, and you can have your daughter married." |
