stunned, dumb-founded. Was this a dream? I proceeded to embrace my brother. But my brother fell at my feet and began to weep like a child! After some time he said : "Brother! please forgive me. I forgot all your good turns, became blind with selfishness and went to court against you!" Then our bhabhi was also weeping. She said : "Really, I am at fault. I am the real sinner. I created discord between you two blood-brothers!"
I stopped them both and said : "Really, I am at fault. I played not the part of an elder brother. I too filed a case against you! With all external religious performances, I could not discord the slavery of passions. I have now come to realize my mistake, thanks to the inconceivable favour of Pancha Parameshthis. As we were coming for reconciliation, you arrived. Let us now forget the past. As a symbol of our happy meeting and union, let us celebrate with a grand feast!"
My brother told me : "Well brother! with your countless favours on me, please add one more."
I replied: "I have done no favour to you. I have simply done my duty. Tell me, without the slightest hesitation as to what I should do."
"You know brother that now my son is of age. All my efforts to get a worthy bride for him have failed. Now, it is for you to find out a worthy girl for him."
T replied : "I shall do my best.”
