ete vivāhāś catvāro dharmyās toyapradānikāḥ | aśulkā brāhmaṇārhāś ca tārayanti dvayoḥ kulam || etān saśulkān sāmānyān vivāhāṃś caturo viduḥ | kevalaṃ kṣatriyasyaiva praśastatvāc ca rākṣasaḥ

How should their bathing, how their cleansing, how their penance be? / What conduct should they adopt? Tell us that in full detail.”

These four marriages, (given) with a libation of water, are lawful, without bride-price, fit for Brahmins, and save both families. The four (others) they know as marriages with bride-price, common (to all); the Rākṣasa only for the Kṣatriya, as approved (for him).
