Bhishma said: A man who, through prudent distrust, does not fall into addictions, who is not excessively attached, who does not live away from home, and who is learned and well-conducted—such a man, living together with his wife, enjoys happiness. Now Brahmā the Grandsire, and all the gods with Indra, are pleased with you. O foremost of the twice-born, the purpose for which you came here has been fulfilled: the generous ṛṣi, father of that maiden, sent you to me for instruction, and I have given it in full.
