‘We sincerely request you to be gracious towards these humble princesses, treating them kindly and affectionately as one of your own followers and servers’— saying this, the queens said many humble words of submission and prayer to the four brothers. (The two queens, Janak’s queen and his younger brother’s queen who were the mothers of the four brides, politely asked the grooms, the four brothers, to take care of their wives with great sensitivity, love and kindness, to forgive them for any mistakes they may make’, and to treat the girls affectionately as one of their own family members as they have become their life-partners from now onwards. Though it is obvious that once a girl is married, she becomes a part of the groom’s family, but the girls’ mother still requests the groom to be kind to her as the bride is new to the environment of the in-law’s family and may find it a bit difficult to adjust herself. She may be liable to commit errors or become homesick, so the groom is requested to ensure that she feels at home. He must also protect her against all harm because she is totally dependent upon him and is his life partner, both in joy as well as in sorrow. It is a natural reaction of a loving parent when he or she has to permanently part with the girl-child whom he or she had brought up so lovingly from day one of her life till the day of marriage. The mother is naturally worried about the happiness of her daughter because all of a sudden, she is transferred to a completely new surrounding of the in-law’s household. The bride’s mother is also worried because she has no way to find out about the nature and temperament of the groom and his family members. This uncertainty makes her very worried, but there is nothing she can do except to pray and humbly request the groom to be kind, forgiving and accommodating towards his wife.)
