Akṛtavraṇa’s Account Begins: Gādhi–Satyavatī–Ṛcīka and the Bhārgava Lineage Prelude
धर्मेण लब्ध्वा तां भार्यामचीको द्विजसत्तम: । यथाकामं यथाजोषं तया रेमे सुमध्यया,विप्रवर ऋचीकने धर्मपूर्वक सत्यवतीको पत्नीरूपमें प्राप्त करके उस सुन्दरीके साथ अपनी इच्छाके अनुसार सुखपूर्वक रमण किया
dharmeṇa labdhvā tāṃ bhāryām acīko dvijasattamaḥ | yathākāmaṃ yathājoṣaṃ tayā reme sumadhyayā ||
以正法得此妻后，婆罗门中最卓越的利支迦，便与那位纤腰佳人欢然同居——随其所愿，亦合二人之心。此偈昭示：婚姻之乐根植于达摩；得之以正、行之以正，则欢愉自成其正当之域，而非越礼犯德。

Educational Q&A
Pleasure (kāma) is ethically valid when it rests on dharma: a spouse obtained and a relationship maintained through righteous conduct makes conjugal enjoyment a sanctioned part of the householder path rather than a moral transgression.
Akṛtavraṇa narrates that the Brahmin sage Ṛcīka, having lawfully obtained his wife, lived happily with her, enjoying marital life in a manner agreeable to desire and mutual satisfaction.
