Her father said yes but he told let me tell you the story of my daughter. Once I was walking back to Ashram. When I saw an abandoned baby. I thought this must be an Apsara's abandoned baby. I will take care of it till she goes in marriage. I took care of her for many years. This is the story of my daughter, that is why i named her Pramadvara. Your son can marry my daughter. A few days before her marriage, Pramadvara and her friends were playing. She stepped on cobra by mistake and it bit her. She suddenly fell dead.
