| But the prince did
not move, but argued that if the mutual love was real, God Himself would come down to
approve of it. The princess then sent for her parents. Arriving there, they enquired about
the prince's lineage but the prince would not divulge his identity. However, he swore by Lord Veeraraghava that after his marriage with the
princess, he would stay there. This being a very sound proposal, the marriage was fixed;
and performed. Following the traditional custom of offering prayer at the temple after
marriage, by the newly wedded couple, the prince and princess, accompanied by the parents
and the invited guests, went to the temple of
Lord Veeraraghava. |
