समानगोत्रप्रवरां कन्यामूढ्वोपगम्य च । तस्यामुत्पाद्य चांडालं ब्राह्मण्यादेव हीयते
samānagotrapravarāṃ kanyāmūḍhvopagamya ca | tasyāmutpādya cāṃḍālaṃ brāhmaṇyādeva hīyate
Wenn ein Mann ein Mädchen derselben Gotra und derselben Pravara heiratet und mit ihr zusammenlebt und in ihr Nachkommenschaft zeugt, wird dieses Kind ein Caṇḍāla; und er selbst fällt von der Brahmanenschaft ab (verliert seinen Brahmanenstand).
Unspecified (general dharma warning within the Purāṇic discourse)
Scene: A cautionary tableau: a wedding fire in the background, but the scene darkens as an elder raises a hand to stop the rite upon discovering shared gotra/pravara; the mood is grave, emphasizing prevention.
Transgressing dharmic boundaries in marriage is portrayed as spiritually and socially destructive, diminishing one’s sacred status.
None; the focus is on dharma regarding lineage in marriage.
A prohibition: do not marry within the same gotra and pravara.
