very much relevant message for today’s immature youth.

Swayambhoo Manu tells Karddama, “the Lord created the Brahmana and Kshatriya for the benefit of creation and maintenance in the world. The Brahmana protects Knowledge and the Kshatriya protects the Brahmana. So they are dependants on each other”.

(The interdependence of the members of a society is depicted here).

Then he makes the proposal for her daughter narrating her background and qualities. Manu describes the aspired qualities of the eligible bridegroom, “Kama purushartham is achieved through the right age, Dharma by good conduct and character, Artha by valour and enthusiasm, and Moksha by Bhakthi and Jnana”. Manu feels that Karddama is the right husband for his daughter by all these means. He hints that, it is not wise to reject good fortune that has come to a person, because later he may have to go after that.

Karddama is truly pleased to marry such a divinely beautiful and matching bride. So he agrees to the proposal happily; Devahoothi is also very happy and thus they got married. Queen Shatharoopa presented them with valuable gifts and they left their daughter with her husband.
