But Arjuna replied to Virat that he taught dance to Uttara, and a teacher could treat his/her student as a child, but not as a spouse. Arjuna accepted the offer instead by recommending to Virat that he could accept Uttara as daughter-in-law by marrying her with his son, Abhimanyu. King Virat was pleased and agreed to Arjuna's proposal, as Abhimanyu's greatness had already spread all over the Earth by that time.[1][better source needed]
