74 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 9, Ch. 3

‘*My dear father, this young man by my side is your actual son-in-
law, the great sage Cyavana, who was born in the family of Bhrgu.”

PURPORT

Although the father chastised the daughter, assuming that she had ac-
cepted another husband, the daughter knew that she was completely
honest and chaste, and therefore she was smiling. When she explained
that her husband, Cyavana Muni, had now been transformed into a
young man, she was very proud of her chastity, and thus she smiled as

she talked with her father.
