When more than a hundred years had passed, the apsara wished to return to heaven. But Kandu said, “Stay for some more time.” Pramlocha again stayed there fore more than a hundred years and wished to return to heaven after these hundred years had passed. But Kandu again said, “Stay for some more time.” And this wen on and on.

After many years had passed, Kandu regained his senses. He said, “Wife, one whole day is over. It is now evening. Let me say my prayers.”

“One day,” exclaimed Pramlocha. “Are you not aware that nine hundred and eighty-seven years, six months and three days have passed since you married me?”

This made Kandu realise what had happened. he went back to his tapasya and allowed Pramlocha to return to heaven. On her way towards heaven. pramlocha wiped her sweat on the leave of trees. She was bearing a baby and the baby come out with the sweat and was left with the trees. It was this baby who grew up and became Marisha.
