One day a saint came to his house and was pleased with his service and blessed him and told the girl the solution for her marriage and said that a family lives some distance from her. If he goes and serves his wife every day, his marriage will be successful. The obstacle coming my way will be removed. The next day the girl wakes up in the morning and goes to their house, does the cleaning, and comes back to her house. The woman living in that house is surprised to see who cleans the house before she wakes up and leaves. 

After a few days, the woman saw the Brahmin’s daughter doing this and asked who you were, then the girl told everything that the sage had told her. The lady was pleased with the girl’s honesty and service and blessed her with an early marriage. After some time, the woman’s husband died, but she did not give up and took 108 rounds of the Peepal tree in the courtyard and prayed to Lord Vishnu to bring back her husband’s life. That day was Paush Amavasya. By the grace of God, her husband came back to life. It is believed that the person who takes a bath and revolves around the Peepal tree on this Paush Amavasya day, has all his wishes fulfilled.
