प्रदानमपि कन्याया: पशुवत् को<नुमन्यते । विक्रयं चाप्यपत्यस्य कः कुर्यात् पुरुषो भुवि,“भला, कौन ऐसा वीर पुरुष होगा, जो पशुकी तरह पराक्रमशून्य होकर कन्यादानकी प्रतीक्षामें बैठा रहेगा एवं इस पृथ्वीपर कौन ऐसा अधम पुरुष होगा, जो धन लेकर अपनी संतानको बेचेगा

Wer würde es gutheißen, dass man eine Jungfrau wie ein Tier hingibt? Und welcher Mann auf Erden würde seine eigene Nachkommenschaft um Geldes willen verkaufen?
