The Rejection of Sampoorana Devan
But one among them named Sampoorana Devan, came up and told that, "I too accept to take birth in the Bhoo loga. But I have one demand." Thirumal asked what that is. He replied, "I am in love with Para Devathai of Yama Loga . She leaving here husband, is too in love with me. Unless you make her as my wife there in Bhoo Loga I have difficulties to take birth over there." Though Thirumal explained him that it's not good to have such a relation, Sampoorana Devan was not ready to forget his lady love. So Thirumal told him that, "In order to fulfill your need, you and herself shall perform austerity, without any other desires in your mind and once you have succeeded, you will be allowed to live with her." Accepting this, Sampoorana Devan along with Para Devathai went for performing austerity.

Famous quotes containing the word rejection:
“To develop an empiricist account of science is to depict it as involving a search for truth only about the empirical world, about what is actual and observable.... It must involve throughout a resolute rejection of the demand for an explanation of the regularities in the observable course of nature, by means of truths concerning a reality beyond what is actual and observable, as a demand which plays no role in the scientific enterprise.”
—Bas Van Fraassen (b. 1941)
