A MAN had a daughter who became a widow when she was very young. She had never known her husband. She noticed the husbands of other girls and said one day to her father, “Where is my husband?”
The father replied: “Govinda1 is your husband. He will come to you if you call Him.” At these words the girl went to her room, closed the door, and cried, to Govinda, saying: “O Govinda, come to me! Show Yourself to me! Why don’t you come?” God could not resist the girl’s piteous cry and appeared before her. (94)
