- 'A woman, given away by her parents in accordance with traditional offerings of water belongs to him even after death and lives with him', Oh ! high-minded one. [2-29-18]
Oh ! descendant of Kakutstha, I am faithful and devoted to you. I have equal disposition to happiness and sorrow. I equally share your prosperity and adversity. Therefore, you should take your wife (to the forest). In this time of distress. [2-29-20]
