FAQs
The verse frames marriage (vivāha-karma) as a dharmic act that should be undertaken with the sanction of one’s teacher/elder authority, highlighting discipline, lineage-guidance, and proper procedure rather than personal impulse.
Within the verse, a group responds to a male addressee (“O handsome one”), calling him deluded for insisting on acting only after receiving the guru’s consent; the excerpt does not provide the proper names.
It contrasts principled adherence to guidance (seeking permission and following due rites) with social pressure or mockery, implying that dharmic restraint may be ridiculed even when it is correct.
