எனவே உடல் ரோமம் வெளிப்பட்ட, ‘அபத்யக்னி’, ‘குலக்னி’ எனக் கூறப்படும், யௌவனம் எழுந்த, ‘பித்ருக்னி’ எனச் சொல்லப்படும், மாதவிடாய் வெளிப்பட்ட கன்னியரை திருமணத்திற்காக விலக்க வேண்டும்.
Skanda (deduced for Kāśīkhaṇḍa: Skanda to Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A teacher enumerates prohibitions; symbolic imagery shows a boundary line between eligible and ineligible stages—flowers in bud vs. fully opened—conveying ‘avoid after certain signs’ without explicitness.
It presents a normative dharma guideline about marital selection, emphasizing socially-defined eligibility.
The broader Kāśī setting frames the instruction, but no particular tirtha is mentioned.
A prescriptive rule is given: certain conditions are listed as grounds to avoid a match for marriage/kanyādāna.
