Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 59
वणिग्भिर्न च संबंधो न विवाहश्च तैः सह । ग्रामवृत्तौ न संबंधो ज्ञातिभेदे कृते सति
vaṇigbhirna ca saṃbaṃdho na vivāhaśca taiḥ saha | grāmavṛttau na saṃbaṃdho jñātibhede kṛte sati
വാണിജ്യക്കാരുമായി യാതൊരു ബന്ധവും വേണ്ട; അവരുമായി വിവാഹബന്ധവും വേണ്ട. ഗ്രാമോപജീവനകാര്യങ്ങളിലും, ജ്ഞാതിഭേദം സ്ഥാപിച്ചതിന് ശേഷം പരസ്പരബന്ധം ഉണ്ടാകരുത്.
