[46] Hearing this, as the king of Vraja remained silent, the sage spoke again: "O king of Vraja, by your wish, we ourselves shall return again and again and perform the sacraments of the twice-born for these two. But ear-piercing and the tonsure ceremony cannot take place. Look closely: there is already a delicate ear-hole, and not even the minute part of a hair is distinctly found. Therefore, you should perform only the first feeding of solid food. The sacred thread, the return from student life, and the wedding must not be undertaken on your own initiative, but only by us who know what is fitting and unfitting to the time."
