One day Surya Das had a dream where he saw that in a very happy mood he was presenting his two daughters Shri Vasudha and Shri Jahnava to Nityananda Prabhu. In the morning when he awoke, he told his dream to one brahmana friend of his, "I saw in my dream that Nityananda Prabhu is none other than Baladeva. His bodily effulgence was shining in all directions and his body was decorated with various shining ornaments. On either side of him my two daughters appeared as Baruni and Revati Now if I cannot give my daughters in marriage to Nityananda Prabhu then there will be no peace for me." Having confided in his friend in this way, he sent him to the house of Srivas Pandit in Navadwip. That brahmana came to Navadwip very quickly and found that Nityananda Prabhu was living at Srivas Pandit's house. The brahmana explained everything in detail to Srivas Pandit who later at the proper time divulged all of this news to Nityananda Prabhu. Lord Nityananda having assured the brahmana that he would fulfill the desire of Surja das, sent him back to Shaligram Advaita Acarya as well as Srivas Pandit were very happy to have heard this news and urged that the marriage take place as soon as possible. The brahmana, in the meantime having returned to Shaligram, delivered this auspicious news to Surja das who was overjoyed that his dream would now come true. .
