Dāyavibhāga (Inheritance Apportionment) and Household Precedence — Dialogue of Yudhiṣṭhira and Bhīṣma
बन्धुभि: समनुज्ञाते मन्त्रहोमौ प्रयोजयेत् । तथा सिद्धयन्ति ते मन्त्रा नादत्ताया: कथंचन
bandhubhiḥ samanujñāte mantrahomau prayojayet | tathā siddhyanti te mantrā nādattāyāḥ kathaṃcana ||
ພີສະມະ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ເມື່ອໄດ້ຮັບຄຳຍິນຍອມຈາກຍາດຂອງກະນີແລ້ວ ຈຶ່ງຄວນໃຊ້ມັນຕຣາແຕ່ງງານ ແລະປະກອບພິທີບູຊາໄຟ (homa). ເທົ່ານັ້ນແຫຼະ ມັນຕຣາເຫຼົ່ານັ້ນຈຶ່ງສຳເລັດຜົນ ແລະບັນລຸຈຸດປະສົງ. ສຳລັບກະນີທີ່ບໍ່ໄດ້ຖືກມອບໃຫ້ຢ່າງຖືກຕ້ອງໂດຍຜູ້ອຸປະຖຳ, ການນຳມັນຕຣາໄປໃຊ້ໃນພິທີບໍ່ສຳເລັດແຕ່ຢ່າງໃດ—ສາຍສຳພັນນັ້ນບໍ່ຖືກນັບວ່າເປັນການແຕ່ງງານທີ່ຖືກຊຳລະດ້ວຍພິທີວິເທດ»។

Educational Q&A
Ritual validity depends on rightful authorization: marriage mantras and homa are considered efficacious only when performed with the consent of the girl’s guardians/kinsmen and when she is duly ‘given’ in marriage; otherwise the rite is treated as not properly accomplished.
In Bhishma’s dharma-instruction discourse (Anushasana Parva), he lays down a rule about the proper performance of marriage rites, emphasizing consent and formal guardianship-based giving as prerequisites for the success of the Vedic mantras and homa.
