Newly married girls, maidens, sick persons and pregnant women,—these he should, without hesitation, feed immediately after the guests.—(114)

Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
The term ‘Suvāsinī’ stands for newly married girls, daughters as well as daughters-in-law. Others have held that ‘girls whose father-in-law and father are both living are called Suvāsinī, even after they have given birth to children.’

‘These......immediately after the guests’—in continuation of them—‘he should feed.’ That is, as soon as the guests have commenced eating, they should be fed at the same time.

Others read ‘agre’ ‘before’ (the guests).

‘Without hesitation’—i.e., he should not entertain any doubt as to the propriety of feeding youngsters before the guests have eaten.—(114)
