In the very beginning of the story Devavrata takes a vow of celibacy all because of his father. He does it so his dad can marry this random fisherman's daughter. His celibacy also plays a role later on in the story. It all started because his father loved this woman.
What other times in the Mahabharata can you think about how the importance of love impacted the story in a vital way?
