Swayamvara of Nala - Damayanti
Once King Nala was wandering in his garden. At that time, he caught a swan . Fearing for its life, Swan said to Nala that there is a beautiful girl named Damayanti. If Nala wish, it can act as a messenger between them.
Handsome and still unmarried Nala agreed for the plan. Swan started describing the beauty of Damayanti. After hearing that, Nala was in really in love with Damayanti.
Same swan went near Damayanti and said good words about Nala. After hearing all these words, Damayanti secretly started loving Nala.
Damayanti's father had arranged a swayamvara for marriage of his daughter. In swayamvara, Damayanti has to put garland around the neck of prince who has come for swayamvara .
Damayanti had seen the picture of Nala. She had decided that she would garland him. But as she was very beautiful, 3 devas too wanted to marry her.
They came to know that Damayanti is in love with Nala. Even they attended the swayamvara by disguising themselves as Nala.
On swayamvara podium, Damayanti didnt look at any of other prince and she was searching for Nala , holding garland.
To her dismay, there are not 1 but 4 of them. !
Now she was confused. She figured out some one has disguised themselves as Nala. Now it is upto her to find out real Nala !
All the 4 were standing next to each other. Real Nala was too anxious to know the result.
Damayanti came near the first one. She looked at his eyes. Moved near the next one. Similarly, she examined all the 4 of them.
Finally she put the garland around the neck of one of them. He was the real one!
How did she figured out?
Very simple. The other 3 except the real one , were devas. Devas can not act as humans though they had disguised themselves as a human being.
Devas dont blink their eyelids.
But the real Nala did !
Likewise, Damayanti got her real Nala.
