Swan matchmaker

 

Swan matchmaker

 

Agudengba said to the donkey Mahu: Emperor Zetian destroyed the drought demon and brought vitality to nature. The Aryans who worshiped the gods were very fond of Di Zetian and believed that he was the patron saint of the Aryans.

The King of Gods, Lord Shakti, chatted with the gods of fire, water, and Yama, who is in charge of human life. The four gods all said with concern: I wonder how the Aryans are living now?

Yama said to the Emperor Shakti and the gods of fire and water: During the drought, many Aryans left their homes and went to many places. Among them, the subjects of the Videlba Kingdom are all descendants of the Aryans. It is said that King Bidelba is planning to choose a son-in-law for his daughter Damayanti. His daughter is very beautiful. We might as well go and join in the fun. Maybe Damayanti will fall in love with one of the four of us. By the way, we can also take a look at how the Aryans live today.

The Emperor Shi, the God of Fire and the God of Water all happily agreed. Because hearing the news of this son-in-law selection ceremony, it aroused a wave of love among the gods. They have long heard about the good name of Damayanti, and they also want to go down to the human world to be selected and see the beautiful face of Damayanti.

So the four gods, Sakyamuni, the God of Fire, the God of Water, and Yama, rode on their flying chariots, lifted up the auspicious clouds, and flew towards the Kingdom of Bidelbha.

Damayanti, the daughter of King Bhimo of Bidelva, was a famous beauty, even the fairies in the sky could not compare with her. She was surrounded by her girlfriends wearing a jeweled ring, just like the moon surrounded by stars.

The news that King Bhima of Bidelva had chosen his son-in-law alarmed King Nara of the Kingdom of Nishad. King Nara was young and handsome, with outstanding moral character, strong martial arts, and familiarity with the classics. Many ladies and ladies surrounded him, but he looked down on none of them and only spent his energy on managing the country.

Nara was the most outstanding among the Aryans, the best in the world; Damayanti was the beauty among the Aryan women, unparalleled in the world. They often heard people around them praising each other's appearance and character over and over again. Therefore, although the two of them have never met, they have already fallen in love with each other. As time goes by, the mutual admiration grows day by day.

On this day, Naluo couldn't suppress the passion in his heart, so he quietly came to a quiet forest, sat on the root of a tree, and silently missed the distant girl.

At this time, a group of swans flew from a distance, squawked and landed in the forest, flapping their wings and wandering on the grass.

Seeing the beauty of the swan, Naluo crept over and caught one. The swan struggled for a while in Naluo's hands and saw that there was no hope of escape. Then it spoke like a human being:

  "King, please don't hurt me. If you let me go, I will do one of your favorite things for you. I can be a matchmaker for you and praise you in front of Damayanti, so that she can be the only one besides you. , I never want another man again.”

The swan's words were exactly what Naluo wanted, and he let go of the swan.

So the group of swans flapped their wings and flew towards the country of Bidelba. They crossed several large rivers and flew over several large mountains, arrived at King Bidelba's city, and landed in the royal garden.

Damayanti was playing in the garden with a group of girlfriends and palace maids when she saw a group of swans falling down. They only had red crowns and white feathers, and they were very beautiful. The girls all screamed for joy and chased the swans, trying to catch them.

Damayanti chased a swan to a secluded place, and the swan cried:

"Princess, please stop your steps and listen to what I say. There is a King Nara in the Nihada Kingdom. He is as beautiful as a god. No one can compare with him. I have flown to many places, both in the sky and on earth. I have been here and have seen many immortals and mortals, but I have never seen anyone as beautiful and good as Naluo. Princess, that handsome king is passionately devoted to you and misses you day and night. If you can match him, you can be his wife. , give birth to a precious son, you will be more beautiful and more beautiful. Princess, you are good-looking and a treasure among women; you have both talents and virtues, and you are the best among men. A beautiful woman is just the right match for a handsome man. If you two can become a pair, Your blessing will be as high as the sky."

After hearing what the swan said, Damayanti's face turned red as if she had a fever. She said shyly: "Please tell King Nara this too."

The swan agreed with a "yes" and immediately flew back to the Kingdom of Nigedha. The other swans followed closely and brought the good news to King Nara.

After listening to the words of the swan that day, Damayanti's soul seemed to fly with the swan to the Kingdom of Nihada, and her heart was only attached to King Nara. From then on, I became depressed, silent, didn't want to eat, and couldn't sleep well. Sometimes I would just sit and meditate, as if I had dementia. Her face is getting paler day by day, and her body is getting thinner and thinner day by day.

The maid serving the princess was frightened and secretly reported the princess's restlessness and poor health to King Bidelba. King Bhimo was startled, and then he thought that his daughter had reached the age of youth and it was time to consider her marriage. So an edict was issued to the world to hold a son-in-law selection ceremony for Damayanti in the palace on a certain day of the month.

News of the son-in-law selection ceremony quickly spread to all directions like wings. Young princes and princes from all over the world took action one after another. They took their beautiful attendants, rode various gorgeous vehicles, and carried rich treasures, and swarmed towards the city of King Bidbhava. The roar of elephants, the neighing of horses, and the rolling of wheels resounded throughout the earth and shook the world.

Nara, the king of Nigatha, and Damayanti had already been married by a swan as a matchmaker. After hearing the news of choosing a son-in-law, Naluo was more enthusiastic than ordinary people. He mounted a horse and galloped towards the country of Videlbha. He traveled day and night and soon arrived at the city of King Bidelba.

The four gods, Lord Shakti, God of Fire, God of Water and God of Yama, who were flying in the air, saw Nāra on the ground. Naluo's beauty astonished them. His whole body was radiant with radiance, which even the gods were inferior to. The gods stopped their flying chariots and slowly descended from the clouds to Nala. They all spoke together:

"Hey, King of Nihad, please agree to help us and be our envoy."

As soon as Naluo saw the four god-like people standing in front of him, he clasped his hands and replied humbly:

"I promise you to be your messenger. But who are you? What do you want me to do?"

Emperor Shibian said:

"I am Lord Shakti, the King of Gods. This is the god of fire and water. That one, he is Yama who controls life and death in the world. We would like you to send a message to Damayanti, saying that our four gods have moved We all hope to marry her when you come, so please be careful to find a husband among us."

Naro said:

"O gods, we are all here for the same purpose. You cannot send me to be such a messenger."

The gods said:

"Na Luo, you have made a promise to us, and you must complete what you promised. A person must keep his word, why do you regret it? Na Luo, go quickly, this is what you should do .”

Naluo listened to what the god said. Although he was full of reluctance, he still decided to keep his promise. But he proposed:

"The palace is heavily guarded. How can I enter Damayanti's embroidered palace without being discovered?"

The gods smiled slightly: "Go, you will walk into Damayanti's embroidered palace safely."

Nāra then walked towards the palace and reached Damayanti without any hindrance.

Damayanti was sitting in the palace with a group of girlfriends surrounding her. She is radiant and gorgeous. Namo recognized the queen in his heart and the lover of his dreams at a glance.

At the same time, Damayanti and her girlfriends also discovered Nara who suddenly appeared like a god. He was so handsome, so noble, so majestic, but so amiable. The girlfriends were surprised, happy, envious and panicked. They stood up from their seats one after another. They were all shy and impressed by Naluo's expression, but they couldn't say a word.

The girlfriends were surprised, happy, envious and panicked. They stood up from their seats one after another. They were all shy and impressed by Naluo's expression, but they couldn't say a word.

Damayanti was also very surprised. She stood up, opened her red lips slightly and asked with a smile:

"Who are you? You are so flawless. Your arrival suddenly gave birth to the love of girls. This place is heavily guarded and law enforcement is overwhelming. How can you break in without being discovered?"

Seeing Damayanti's charming posture and hearing her voice as sweet as music, Nara was confused and ignited with a burning love. But thinking of the mission given to him by God, he had no choice but to suppress his emotions and replied:

"Beautiful princess, I am Nara, sent here as a messenger by the gods. The four great gods of heaven, fire, water and Yama want me to tell you: they all want to marry you, and they want you to be with them. Choose one among them as your husband. It is because of their magical power that I was not discovered when I came in. No one saw me, and no one blocked me. Beautiful princess, my mission has been completed, please Make your decision according to your own wishes.”

When the princess heard that he was Naluo, her heart beat wildly. The lover she longed for in her dreams was right in front of her, and he was exactly what she had imagined. She said enthusiastically:

"King, I have not forgotten the words of the swan, it has been burning in my heart. My dear, please have mercy on me and love me! It is only for you that I invite all the kings in the world. Me and all my wealth It all belongs to you, and if you refuse my request, I will have no choice but to take poison, drown myself, set myself on fire, or hang myself."

Naluo was moved by the princess's true feelings, and passion surged in his body like hot lava, but he could only answer like this;

"Princess, it's not that I don't love you, it's not that I don't agree. Since there are gods who are devoted to you, why do you still want to be a mortal? Compared with those great gods who created the world and are infinitely powerful, I don't even have the dust on their feet. No. You should entrust your life to them. The gods will make you immortal and have endless happiness. Besides, if a mortal offends the gods, it will bring disaster and death. So, beautiful princess, for your happiness and my safety For your own sake, let’s choose those gods!”

When Naluo said this, Damayanti's smiling face immediately became filled with tears. She choked and said:

"I don't want to live forever, nor do I want that illusory happiness. I just want to be with the person I love. Ah, Na Luo, I thought of a proper way, which can prevent you from committing any sins. I choose On the day of the son-in-law ceremony, you invite the gods to come together, and you must come with them. In front of the gods and in front of all the candidates present, I will choose you. This is my right. No one will be guilty of doing so.”

After hearing what the princess said, Naluo nodded and immediately returned to report his life to the gods.

The four gods were looking forward to it. As soon as they saw Naluo, they stepped forward to surround him and asked what the princess had said. Have you agreed to their request?

Naro said:

"In accordance with the instructions of the gods, I told Damayanti your wishes accurately. But the princess lost her mind and fell in love with me. She asked me to attend her husband-selection ceremony with you. She chose me in public at the ceremony. She said that by doing this, I would not be guilty of anything. God in heaven, I am telling the truth. Whatever it is, your wishes are the criterion."

The auspicious day of the son-in-law selection ceremony has finally arrived. The hall with arches was splendid, and the columns made of gold shone with light. Kings from all over the world arrived at the hall on time. They wore shining earrings on their ears, fragrant garlands on their necks, and jingling rings on their bodies. They were all beautiful, handsome, and in high spirits. Everyone wanted to The princess can choose herself.

Damayanti is out! She was radiant and beautiful, like a bright sun, which immediately captured the eyes and hearts of the kings. Countless electric gazes all fell on Damayanti, and she couldn't bear to leave anymore.

Damayanti opened her gleaming beautiful eyes and paid no attention to the handsome men who were looking at her eagerly. She only looked for Nara in the crowd. She saw five people standing together, all looking like Na Luo. No matter how carefully she identified them, she still couldn't tell which one was Nara and which ones were gods.

Damayanti was very anxious, not knowing how to identify Nara. She suddenly remembered that she had heard someone say that all gods have characteristics that are different from mortals, but she did not notice any of these characteristics. She thought, I can only pray to God for help and protection. So she clasped her hands together and prayed to God devoutly:

"O gods, Naluo and I have had swans as matchmakers for a long time. We have been in love with each other for a long time. I have chosen Naluo as my husband. I am loyal to Naluo. I will not marry anyone except Naluo. Merciful gods. Ah, this is God's arrangement, a decision that both humans and gods are happy with. Gods who stand side by side with Nara, please show your true colors so that I can identify my husband."

After listening to Damayanti's sincere and affectionate confession, and seeing that she had made a noble decision and was infinitely loyal to Nara and highly respectful to God, the gods all expressed their approval of the princess' purity and virtue. After deciding to fulfill her wish, she immediately showed the characteristics of what people call a god.

 When Damayanti looked at the five people again, she saw that four of them did not sweat or blink, and the garlands around their necks were bright and spotless. Even though he is standing, his feet are not touching the ground. The other stood on the ground, sweating, eyes flashing, the wreath around his neck withered and stained with dust.

Damayanti confirmed that the person standing on the ground was Nala. She walked to him with gentle steps, held his clothes, and put a beautiful and bright garland on his neck. According to the law, she chose Nara to be her husband.

In an instant, thunderous applause and cheers rang out in the hall. All the kings who participated in the election agreed with the princess's decision, because only Nara, the most outstanding among men, could marry Damayanti.

The gods also cheered "Okay! Okay!" They happily blessed the newlyweds and wished them long life together and happiness. Then return to heaven with joy.

Nara and Damayanti finally got their wish and concluded a happy marriage. From then on, the two were inseparable and spent quality time together.

When the princess heard that he was Naluo, her heart beat wildly. The lover she longed for in her dreams was right in front of her, and he was exactly what she had imagined. She said enthusiastically:

Agudengba sang a prayer song "The Fate of Love":

 

pure love

between people

The most beautiful scenery

 

love fate

The Matchmaker of Destined Swans

Even gods won’t pull the strings

 

sincerity of love

Talents can fly together

Fly freely and bravely to sail far away
