King Puranjana was overwhelmed with joy as young ‘Puranjani’ offered herself as his life mate.

She said, “live in this palace for hundred years, enjoying all the pleasures that I earn for you. You are the right one for me. Others are either Sathwik(indifferent) or Thamasik(immature). The best is Grihasthasram and I am very happy to please you”.

As Puranjana praised her beauty, she too praised his physical charm, especially his long arms and hands.

Thus they entered the palace and started their honeymoon very happily.

Note – Bhagavatham says that the desire for experiencing pleasure is more prevalent in Rajasik Budhi. Sathwik people are indifferent as they do not have any inclination and Thamasik people do not have the maturity to enjoy it as they live like animals. Only a Grihastha can enjoy the pleasures offered by this world.

It also implies that Grihasthas are immersed in the worldly pleasures and not any higher joy. The praise for King’s arms and hands indicate the Rajasik nature, where Karma is more predominant.
