5.17.3
hástenaivá grāhyà ādhír asyā brahmajāyéti céd ávocat |
ná dūtā́ya prahéyā tastha eṣā́ táthā rāṣṭráṃ gupitáṃ kṣatríyasya ||3||
To be seized by the hand indeed is the pledge (? ādhí) of her, if one has said "[she is] the Brahman's wife"; she stood not to be sent forth for a messenger: so is made safe (gupitá) the kingdom of the Kshatriya.
