दत्त्वा स भगिनीं वीरो यथा च परिच्छदम् । पुनरायात् स्वनगरं भीष्मेण प्रतिपूजित:,वीरवर शकुनिने अपनी बहिनका विवाह करके यथायोग्य दहेज दिया। बदलेमें भीष्मजीने भी उनका बड़ा सम्मान किया। तत्पश्चात् वे अपनी राजधानीको लौट आये
dattvā sa bhaginīṃ vīro yathā ca paricchadam | punarāyāt svanagaraṃ bhīṣmeṇa pratipūjitaḥ ||
ভগ্নীৰ বিবাহ সম্পন্ন কৰি সেই বীৰে ৰীতি অনুসাৰে উপযুক্ত পৰিচ্ছদ (বিবাহ-উপহাৰ/দায়াদি)ও দিলে। ভীষ্মে যথোচিত সন্মান জনোৱাৰ পাছত তেওঁ পুনৰ নিজৰ নগৰলৈ উভতি গ’ল।

The verse highlights dharmic reciprocity in royal conduct: marriage alliances require proper gifts according to custom, and the receiving party must respond with honour and respectful hospitality.
A heroic prince gives his sister in marriage and provides the appropriate marriage gifts; Bhīṣma honours him in return, after which the prince departs and returns to his own capital.
