Adhyaya 71 — The King’s Remorse and the Sage’s Counsel on the Necessity of a Wife
ऋषीरुवाच पाणिग्रहणकाले त्वं सूर्यभौमशनैश्चरैः ।
शुक्रवाचस्पतिभ्याञ्च तव भार्यावलोकिता ॥
ṛṣīruvāca pāṇigrahaṇa-kāle tvaṃ sūrya-bhauma-śanaiścaraiḥ / śukra-vācaspati-bhyāṃ ca tava bhāryāvalokitā
Vị hiền triết nói: Vào lúc cử hành lễ nắm tay (hôn phối), vợ của ngài đã bị Mặt Trời, Sao Hỏa, Sao Thổ, cùng cả Sao Kim và Sao Mộc chiếu xét (tác động).

The verse reflects a purāṇic acceptance of cosmic causality: individual experience (especially relational temperament) is shaped by time, ritual moment, and planetary configurations—yet the teaching context implies that understanding causes enables remedial action and wiser conduct.
Carita with ancillary dharma/jyotiṣa material; not a sarga/manvantara passage but a didactic explanation embedded in narrative.
Planets here function as archetypal forces: Sūrya (ego/authority), Maṅgala (heat/conflict), Śani (constraint), Śukra (desire/affection), Bṛhaspati (ethics/counsel). Their ‘gaze’ at marriage symbolizes the composite psyche that will play out in intimacy.
