One thought did cross my mind though. The lifespan in yonder years was much more. So, two decades in Damayanti's life wouldn't have aged her much set against a lifespan of a few hundred years. :)Sundari Venkatramanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16380034791641561374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795545304639078102.post-59338804762692378652015-04-21T12:15:22.089+05:302015-04-21T12:15:22.089+05:30Thank you Sharybary :)Thank you Sharybary :)Sundari Venkatramanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16380034791641561374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795545304639078102.post-27526408970701854362015-04-21T12:15:07.947+05:302015-04-21T12:15:07.947+05:30Yeah, I agree with both points Prasanna.
