FAQs
This verse frames marriage as a dharmic saṃskāra aligned with lunar timing—selecting pañcamī and saptamī as prescribed days—so the household order supports social and cosmic order.
Parāśara presents gṛhastha life as rule-governed: one should marry only through nyāya (rightness) and vidhi (scriptural procedure), emphasizing discipline rather than mere personal preference.
Even when discussing social rites, the Purana implies that dharma—right timing, right method, right conduct—operates under Vishnu’s sustaining sovereignty, by which the world’s order is maintained.
