That is the marriage named Brāhma, in which, having invited a bridegroom endowed with the prescribed characteristics, the maiden is given, adorned according to one's means, with the pouring of water. A son born of her, if he is of virtuous conduct, purifies twenty-one [generations] on both sides: ten beginning with his father, ten beginning with his son, and himself as the twenty-first. || 1.58
