The Adipurana states that just as the rising of the sun is caused by the rising mountain, but the sun itself rises, so too, your birth was caused by us, but you were born on your own. [54] You were born in your mother's pure womb, on a divine lotus seat, having established your supreme power, therefore you are truly without a body. [59] O Lord, although I am not truly your father, but only a cause, I still request you to turn your mind to the creation of the world at this time. [60] You are the first being, therefore seeing you, others will also follow the same path, because those who have good offspring follow the path of great men. [61] Therefore, O best of the wise, you should desire to marry a suitable woman in this world, because by doing so, the lineage of the people will not be cut off. [62] If the lineage of the people is not cut off, the lineage of dharma will flourish, therefore, O Lord, accept this imperishable dharma of marriage for humans. [63] O Lord, consider this marriage as a dharma for householders, because householders must strive to protect their offspring. [64] If you consider me your guru in any way, you should not violate my words for any reason, because it is not desirable to violate the words of gurus. [65] Saying this, the wise and valiant king Nabhiraj remained silent, and the Lord, smiling, accepted his words by saying "Om," meaning he agreed to the marriage. [66] What was the reason for the Lord's acceptance of the marriage? Was it his fatherly affection, or his desire to benefit the people, or was it some kind of obligation? [67] Knowing the Lord's consent, Nabhiraj, without any doubt, celebrated a grand wedding with great joy. [68] King Nabhiraj, with the permission of Indra, married two virtuous and beautiful women, who were truthful and had a charming appearance. [69] People are just illusions. [57]
