Mantra 15

Sukta 4

स्वमेतदच्छायन्ति यद् वशां ब्राह्मणा अभि। यथैनानन्यस्मिन् जिनीयादेवास्या निरोधनम्

svám etád ácchāyanti yád vaśā́ṃ brāhmaṇā́ abhí | yáthainām anyásmin ná jinīyā́d evā́syā nirodhánam

They guard this as their own, in that the Brahmans have power over the Vaśā; so that none may win her away unto another—this, verily, is her restraint.

তারা একে নিজেদেরই বলে রক্ষা করে, কারণ বশার উপর ব্রাহ্মণদের অধিকার আছে। যাতে কেউ তাকে অন্যের কাছে জিতে নিয়ে যেতে না পারে—এটাই নিশ্চয়ই তার নিরোধন (বন্ধন/নিয়ন্ত্রণ)।
