“That princess, O holy sage, will be just the type you have been thinking of in your heart for all these long years. She will soon be yours and will serve you to your heart’s content.”
What the purport teaches
- The Lord tells Kardama Muni that the princess will be suitable for the desire he has held in his heart. A suitable husband or wife is received by God’s grace.
- In every circumstance, we should take shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and depend on His decision. The fulfillment of our desires is best entrusted to Him.
- Kardama Muni desired a wife, but the Lord selected an emperor’s daughter for him. The Lord’s choice brought a blessing beyond his expectation.
