लक्षणानि परीक्ष्यादौ ततः कन्यां समुद्वहेत् । सुलक्षणा सदाचारा पत्युरायुर्विवर्धयेत्
lakṣaṇāni parīkṣyādau tataḥ kanyāṃ samudvahet | sulakṣaṇā sadācārā patyurāyurvivardhayet
គួរតែពិនិត្យសញ្ញាមង្គលជាមុន ហើយទើបរៀបការជាមួយក្មេងស្រី។ ស្ត្រីមានលក្ខណៈល្អ និងសុចរិត ត្រូវបាននិយាយថាបន្ថែមអាយុស្វាមី។
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa instruction)
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta-kṣetra)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Agastya (Ghaṭodbhava)
Scene: A ceremonial, auspicious household scene: elders and a sage examine signs and virtues symbolically (manuscript, lamp, sacred thread), while Skanda’s instruction hovers as the guiding voice; Kāśī’s sacred skyline faintly present.
Dharma in marriage is strengthened by discernment and virtue; character and auspiciousness are linked to household welfare.
Kāśī provides the sacred narrative frame, but the verse itself teaches gṛhastha norms rather than praising a particular tirtha.
A procedural prescription: examine lakṣaṇas (signs/qualities) before performing marriage.
