Narad responds to the queen in a rather cryptic way trying to dissuade her from asking about the future.
At the Feet of The Mother
Canto I: The Word of Fate
The queen is now a bit alarmed and hence bids the sage to speak out what he knows and has seen.
Aswapati cautions Narad not to reveal anything that may sound alarming.
Aswapati hears his daughter, sees things through an inner vision and approves of her choice.
Savitri reveals her choice before her parents and the sage.
Aswapati now reveals something that he too has felt about Savitri’s future but in a guarded way.
Aswapati describes her daughter as a goddess born upon earth to give radiant joy to all creatures.
The form carries its own significance and the dreams of the soul are often noticed in the eyes. This is what we find revealed in Aswapati’s description of Savitri’s form.
Aswapati responds to the hints even as Narad holds back his words.
