Transliteration
asminn arthe satyavantaṃ paryapṛcchanta vai janāḥ | kanyāyāḥ prāptaśulkāyāḥ śulkadaḥ praśamaṃ gataḥ |
Translation
Mengenai perkara ini, orang-orang zaman dahulu bertanya kepada Satyavān: “Wahai mahābijaksana! Jika śulka (harga pengantin) untuk seorang gadis telah diterima, lalu lelaki yang seharusnya membayarnya meninggal, bolehkah orang lain melaksanakan upacara pāṇigrahaṇa (mengambil tangan, pernikahan) atau tidak? Keraguan tentang dharma telah timbul pada kami. Mohon lenyapkan, sebab engkau dihormati oleh para bijak.”
