Now Devayani was ecstatic to have both the men in her life safe and sound.

But with this incident, Kacha’s mission was complete, and he knew that he had to leave the ashram.

The next day, when Devayani realized that Kacha was about to depart, she was taken aback. ‘O Kacha! Why are you leaving?’ she asked.

When Kacha did not respond, Devayani started sobbing. ‘I love you! I have done everything that I could to keep you alive. You must marry me. Isn’t that the right thing to do?’

Kacha smiled gently. ‘My dear Devayani, I have always respected you—both as my teacher’s daughter and as my friend. I’ve never had or professed any romantic feelings for you. Now I am born out of your father and have become a brother to you. Please forgive me but I cannot marry you.’

Devayani tried her best to cajole him but failed. Angry and upset, she cursed Kacha. ‘The Sanjeevani mantra will never be useful to you because you have used my emotions in an unfair manner to reach your goal. Despite the knowledge you now possess, you will never be able to revive anyone by chanting the mantra.’

The usually calm and collected Kacha became livid and cursed her back. ‘O Devayani! You will never marry a sage’s son. Your headstrong nature is not suited to the calm and quiet fraternity of the sages. May you marry someone of a clan of that temperament!’

Saying thus, Kacha departed from his teacher’s home and Devayani became lonely once more.
