Deshraj Pabbi of Rudrapur received two marriage proposals for his
daughter—one
from a family in Delhi and the other from a family in Bareilly. His
preference was for the one from Bareilly, but his wife preferred the
one from Delhi. Because of this difference of opinion, they could not
accept either proposal. Deshraj was worried because they wasted a lot
of time in indecision. At last both of them agreed to accept whichever
proposal Baba chose for their daughter.
When Deshraj came to Kainchi to settle the matter, Baba said, "It
has to take place somewhere else,"
and then got up and left. Deshraj did not understand what Baba meant.
He went to Delhi to accept that proposal, but because of the delay, it
was too late. Then he went to Bareilly where he was also disappointed,
for the boy had got engaged to another girl. Some time later they
received a proposal from Amritsar that they were all happy with and
their daughter was married there.
