"I shall follow behind you over smooth ground and rough, behind you, o tiger among men, departing without return; like an unfailing shadow, ever obedient, I shall be, o tiger among men, ever devoted to your joy and welfare. From today, o king, harsh, heart-withering anxieties will overwhelm me without you, o lotus-eyed one. By me, ill-fated, surely, companions were once parted — those joined I separated in former births, o king; and this sorrow, accumulated by sinful deeds in former bodies, has overtaken me, born of separation from you. From today, o king, I, lying on a bed of kusha grass, shall be, seized by grief, wholly intent on the sight of you; appear then, o tiger among men, to me, unhappy, wretched, helpless, poor, wailing".

Here Bhadra's grief deepens into self-knowledge through the law of karma. Telling is her insight: she explains her grief of separation by the fact that in past births she herself parted those who loved one another — and now reaps what was sown. Here is a mature acceptance of karma: instead of murmuring against fate, an acknowledgment that suffering is the fruit of one's own past deeds, and is therefore met with resignation. Telling too is her resolve to keep a vow of vigil: to sleep on kusha grass, to fast in grief, intent solely on the sight of her husband — an austerity born of love. Thus the very power of love and fidelity turns into an act of discipline, drawing down grace from above. Thus scripture shows that even in inconsolable grief a righteous soul finds both the cause within itself and strength in its vow — and it is this very strength that will call forth a miraculous answer from the unseen.
