HIKAYAR GIMBIYAR HINDU SAHBITRIYA

Description

The story of Princess Sahbitriya, originating from the Hindu epic 'Mahabharata,' begins with a king named Nadarana. This king possessed immense wealth, including multiple wives, but he had never been blessed with children. Filled with longing for a child, he fervently prayed to his idols, seeking divine intervention.

One night, during his sleep, Nadarana experienced a significant dream. In this dream, a celestial figure descended from heaven and delivered a message to him. The mysterious visitor prophesied that Nadarana would have a daughter, but her fate would be unusual. If she was compelled to marry anyone other than her chosen one, she would meet an untimely death. On the other hand, if she married someone other than the king, he would perish within a year.

This dream left King Nadarana deeply perturbed. He contemplated the implications of this unusual vision but chose to keep it a secret, sharing it with no one.

Not long after this dream, one of King Nadarana's beloved wives became pregnant. The king's joy knew no bounds when she gave birth to an extraordinarily beautiful girl. She was named Sahbitriya.

As Sahbitriya grew, her exceptional talents and beauty became apparent to all. Her intelligence, grace, and charm were unmatched, drawing the admiration of everyone who gazed upon her. She treated people with respect and kindness and was adored by all.

As she matured, princes from neighboring lands began to seek her hand in marriage. Yet, Princess Sahbitriya remained uninterested in any of them.

Recognizing that his daughter had reached a suitable age for marriage, King Nadarana inquired about her desires. Sahbitriya expressed her lack of interest in any of the suitors who had approached her. Consequently, the king decided that he would not force her into a marriage she did not desire.
