Atharva Veda 9.5.27: Kanda 9, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 5, Mantra 27
Sukta 5
या पूर्वं॒ पतिं॑ वि॒त्त्वाथा॒न्यं वि॒न्दतेऽप॑रम्। पञ्चौ॑दनं च॒ ताव॒जं ददा॑तो॒ न वि यो॑षतः
yā́ pūrváṃ pátim viditvā́ athā́nyaṃ víndate ’páram | pañcáudanam ca táu ajám dadā́toḥ ná ví yóṣataḥ ||
She who, having known a former husband, thereafter findeth another, a later one—if those two bestow the fivefold rice and a goat, they part not asunder.
जब औरत पहले पति को जान के दूसरा पति से मिलती है, अगर दोनों पाँच धान का खाना और बकरा देते हैं, तो वो दोनों अलग नहीं होते।
