Chapter 4 · Marriage
विवाहप्रकरणम्
भुक्तायैव सुतामुपोषितनरो दद्याच्च सावित्रिकामारब्धोत्सवके यदा जनिमृती स्यातां स्वगोत्रे क्वचित् । सांगं तं विदधीत वाजमपरेऽस्मादारभेत्पूर्वतो यज्ञोद्वाहनचौलमौंजिकमहःसु स्वर्गदिक्त्रित्रिषु ॥ ४३ ॥
The father should fast and give his daughter to a groom who has eaten. The Savitri teaching is given the same way. Say a birth or death happens in one's gotra (clan line) after the festival has begun. Then, in some places, finish the rite with all its parts. Others start the opening rite from here, counted back from the festival. It is 21 days for a sacrifice and 10 for a wedding. It is 3 for the first haircut and 3 for the sacred thread.
Simple meaning: Rules for giving a daughter, and when a family birth or death does not stop a rite already begun.
नो श्राद्धं क्षयदर्शनैत्यकमधीतिं शीतलाप्स्वाप्लुतिं सीमासिंध्वतिपातमेककुलजाः सव्यातिपातं क्वचित् । उत्थापावधि मंडपस्य सशरागाह्नोर्विषष्ठे समेऽन्ह्युद्वास्यो न गृहोद्वहौ सहजयोस्तुल्याक्रियाऽब्दांततः ॥ ४४ ॥
Things the family avoids until the wedding pavilion comes down, and spacing rites for siblings.
उद्वाहव्रतचूडकेऽब्ददलतत्खंडं तिलैस्तर्पणं श्राद्धं पिंडयुतं महालयगयापित्र्यं विना नाचरेत् । पूर्वं सप्तपदीविधेरधिगते दोषे वरे वा मृते देयाऽन्यत्र विवाहितापि च बलाद्या विद्धयोनिर्न चेत् ॥ ४५ ॥
After family rites some ancestor offerings wait; a girl whose groom fails before the seven steps may marry again.
अस्त्रीकैः कुशहेमरौप्यरचिता ताम्री च विप्रादिभिर्भार्या वा निखिलैः सुवर्णरचिता धर्माय धार्या बुधैः । मंदारार्कदिनेंऽबुपाग्निफणिभं भद्रातिथिश्चेदिहोद्भूता सा विषकन्यकापि तनुगौ सौम्यौ रिपुक्षेत्रगौ ॥ ४६ ॥
A wifeless man keeps a wife image for rites; birth day, star and tithi mark a poison girl.
