The old man explained the Vrat for 9 Thursdays. Kokila said there is no happiness in my fate and narrated everything about her unhappy life to the old man.
The old man said May Sai bless you with happiness. Kokila gave to the old man what he demanded and folded her hands before him. An old man came and stood in front of the house of Kokila. Now his quarrelsome nature increased two fold. Now Maheshbhai did not go anywhere and stayed back at home. Gradually her husband’s business declined and the earnings were also negligible. She had immense faith in God and she suffered everything without uttering a single word. Another Thursday must be taken into consideration and then concluding ceremony must be performed.
