Then, in the proper season, that great seer—Vasiṣṭha, foremost among the Bhārgava-like sages—was united with the queen by a divine and extraordinary ordinance. The passage frames the act as a regulated, time-bound rite rather than private desire, emphasizing sanctioned procedure and responsibility toward lineage and duty.
