pitre na dadyāc chulkaṃ tu kanyām ṛtumatīṃ haran
sa ca svāmyād atikrāmed ṛtūnāṃ pratirodhanāt //
But he who takes (to wife) a marriageable damsel, shall not pay any nuptial fee to her father; for the (latter) will lose his dominion over her in consequence of his preventing (the legitimate result of the appearance of) her enemies.
