Chapter 4 · Marriage
विवाहप्रकरणम्
उद्वाहव्रतचूडकेऽब्ददलतत्खंडं तिलैस्तर्पणं श्राद्धं पिंडयुतं महालयगयापित्र्यं विना नाचरेत् । पूर्वं सप्तपदीविधेरधिगते दोषे वरे वा मृते देयाऽन्यत्र विवाहितापि च बलाद्या विद्धयोनिर्न चेत् ॥ ४५ ॥
After a wedding, sacred thread or first haircut, wait a year, half a year or a part of that. Until then, do no water offerings with sesame and no shraddha (ancestor rite) with rice balls. Mahalaya (the fortnight for the ancestors), Gaya and death-day rites are the exception. Say a fault in the groom is found before the seven steps, or he dies. Then the girl, even though married, should be given to another, even against objection. This holds as long as she has not slept with him.
Simple meaning: 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.
एकः क्रूर इहोद्भवाप्यथ तनौ सौरी रविः पुत्रगो धर्मस्थो धरणीसुतोऽयमपरो योगोऽपि तज्जा विषम् । मूलाद्यत्रिपदोद्भवा श्वशुरमह्यंत्यत्रये तत्स्त्रियं ज्येष्ठांत्ये पतिपूर्वजं द्विपचतुर्थे देवरं हंति च ॥ ४७ ॥
More poison-girl births, and star quarters said to bring harm to the husband's relatives.
एवं ना युवतेरभाव इह नो दोषो नुरेतत्फलं मौंज्यूर्ध्वं न वदंति केचिदपि पैत्र्याद्ये फलं मूलवत् । नोद्वाहौ सहजातयोस्त्र्यृतुषु नोद्वाहाद्व्रतं नो पुमुद्वाहात्स्त्र्युद्वहनं न मंगलविधेर्मुंडं त्रिशुभ्येषु न ॥ ४८ ॥
The same star results hold for men; rules on spacing weddings and other rites among siblings.
