Usha,
Totally agree with you.. Dev was with his Radhika all the way...
He supported her When Chachu tried to kicked her out.
He watched her pleading with all and when she came to him asking for his help.. He not only stood with her but he put his arm around her taking her in his complete protection and went forward with his wife and plead her cause to his dadima.
not only that how wonderfully he presented her cause to Mahant. I loved the way he called his wife in front of all and once again putting his hand around her shoulder he said he forgave her. That was awesome declaration.
And also he stood by her side when she took the decision to take the punishment. When she asked please let me do it. He just give his silent permission. I think he as an honest and upright and righteous Rajpurohit knows that by taking this punishment his wife will be fully restored to her title and will shine..
It seems to be very difficult punishment. Though it is for 12 hours but putting that Vishpind... poisonous elements in her mouth and than plow the land with her bare hand.... The way Radh stood with Dev during Kshama Vrat.. Dev will be with her all the way.
Yes Dev the Rajpurohit will be there for his beloved Rajpurohitine all the way...
