3.21

gāndharveṇa vivāhena bahvyo rājarṣikanyakāḥ /
śrūyante pariṇītās tāḥ pitṛbhiś cābhinanditāḥ //
śaku muñca tāvan mām / bhūyo 'pi sakhījanam anumānayiṣye /
rājā bhavatu / mokṣyāmi /
śaku kadā /

For many a hermit maiden who
By simple, voluntary rite
Dispensed with priest and witness, yet
Found favour in her father's sight.
