Nandiswara and Pushpadanta
Pushpadanta in all reverence requested, "Oh divine Nandiswara! Please enlighten on the eldest son of Emperor Svayambhuva Manu!"

Nandiswara said, "Emperor Svayambhuva Manu was very responsible in bringing up his children with good qualities and cultivated endurance to overcome vices like lust, anger, greed, delusion, conceit, and envy. He knew that his three daughters were ready for marriage and was searching for bridegrooms who have good character and endowed with noble qualities. According to the Vedic system, the girl is married to a suitable boy by the parents. Out of the urge of sex desire, a girl may accept anyone, but if the parents choose the husband, they can consider who selected and who is not. This is the duty of parents to offer their daughter because the daughter was well qualified and the parents were searching out a similarly qualified man.
