5.4.38
vāsasi ca kuṅkumāṅkam añjaliṃ nidadhyāt/
Now the go-between should show the woman the presents, such as the betel nut and the betel leaves, the perfumes, the flowers, and the rings which the man may have given to her for the sake of the woman, and on these presents should be impressed the marks of the man's teeth, and nails, and other signs. On the cloth that he may send he should draw with saffron both his hands joined together as if in earnest entreaty.
