The weeks and months passed, till one day the mother said she would like to see how the dogs had been trained by her future daughters-in-law.
And this relation of the family to their mother only grew and strengthened with years. As the daughters married, their husbands became so many new and devoted sons to this gentle, sympathetic, and yet firm-natured woman.

O great Rishi, through the power of thy penances thou art competent to create new worlds. What need I say then about showing this king his children who are now in the other world?

Is it not so, my friends? I leave it to your own candor to corroborate my assertion.

Nagoba, the Snake-King Once upon a time there was a town called Atpat. In it there lived a Brahman who had seven little daughters-in-law.
Every corner of my palace is filled with priceless treasures; and there, too, are other treasures children such as no other mother can show: seven beautiful daughters, seven sturdy sons, and just as many sons- and daughters-in-law. Ask now whether I have ground for pride.
And after performing with her daughters-in- law the funeral rites of the deceased, consoled, as best she could, her weeping daughters-in-law and Bhishma, that foremost of all wielders of weapons. As the attainment of heaven is inseparable from good deeds, as long life is inseparable from truth and faith, so is virtue inseparable from thee.
