YOUNG YOGI JAMBU KUMAR
Dharini was taken aback, she gaped at her son
CALZA
What? What have you done my son? You have shattered
all my future plans...
Dharini lost her consciousness. The merchant rushed to her side. The maids sprinkled cold water. Dharini recovered but she continued to shed streams of tears from her eyes.
Jambu silently changed his decision
When he saw his mother in tears Jambu Kumar thought
Just my decision to become ascetic has hurt my mother, what will happen when I will
actually do so?
The happiness of my parents is my prime." duty. So, whatever I do I will do only with their consent.
He said
Mother! Please don't worry. I will do as you say...
Dharini put her hand on Jambu's head and said, UU
Son! I will not force anything on you. But my desire is that you should marry and let me behold your beautiful wives. Later you
may do what you wish...
