पिता माता गुरवश चैव ये ऽनये; देहस्यास्य परभवन्ति परदाने नाहं धर्मं लॊपयिष्यामि लॊके; सत्रीणां वृत्तं पूज्यते देहरक्षा ॥ ३-२९०-२२ ॥
'It is only a girl’s father, mother, and other elders who have the right to bestow her in marriage. As for me, I shall never abandon virtue — for in this world, the protection of one’s person is regarded as the highest duty of women, and is held in utmost honour.' ॥ 3-290-22 ॥
