तां रूपलक्षणोपेतां बालां द्वादशहायनाम् । ययाचे पद्मनाभाख्यो मृतदारश्च स द्विजः
tāṃ rūpalakṣaṇopetāṃ bālāṃ dvādaśahāyanām | yayāce padmanābhākhyo mṛtadāraśca sa dvijaḥ
وہ بارہ برس کی دوشیزہ، حسن و مبارک علامات سے آراستہ، پدمنابھ نامی ایک دِویج نے—جس کی بیوی وفات پا چکی تھی—نکاح کے لیے طلب کی۔
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.
No tīrtha is mentioned in this verse.
An implied social rite (vivāha/marriage) appears, but no specific ritual procedure is detailed here.
