तां रूपलक्षणोपेतां बालां द्वादशहायनाम् । ययाचे पद्मनाभाख्यो मृतदारश्च स द्विजः
tāṃ rūpalakṣaṇopetāṃ bālāṃ dvādaśahāyanām | yayāce padmanābhākhyo mṛtadāraśca sa dvijaḥ

Sūta (continuing narration)
Scene: A young maiden of auspicious marks stands in a domestic courtyard; the twice-born Padmanābha, a widower, formally requests her hand; elders observe with mixed calculation and propriety.
The narrative sets up a chain of karmic and dharmic consequences through ordinary social decisions like marriage.
