III. 21. This is quoted by the मिता० on याज्ञ. I. 52. The Kāmasūtra III. 1 .14 has the same rule in the same words. The भारद्वाजगृह्य I. 11 quotes a verse to the same effect श्लोकं तु लाक्षणा उदाहरन्ति । यस्यां मनोऽनुरमते चक्षुश्च प्रतिपद्यते । तां विद्यात्पुण्यलक्ष्भीकां किं ज्ञानेन करिष्यति॥ This makes attractiveness more important in a woman even than knowledge. In the Mālatīmādhava (Act. II) Kāmandakī ascribes the words यस्यां मनश्च० to Aṅgiras 'इतरेतरातुरागो हि द्वारकर्मणि पराध्यै मङ्गलं गीतश्चायमर्थोऽङ्गिरसा यस्यां मनश्चक्षुषोरनुबन्धस्तस्यामृद्धिरिति'. - [Previous: v2.c26.24](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v2.c26.24) - [Next: v2.c26.26](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v2.c26.26) - [Up: v2.c26](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v2.c26) ## Cites (5) - [Yājñavalkyasmṛti](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.dharma.yajnavalkya.1.52) — Yājñavalkya, Sanskrit - [Bhāradvājagṛhyasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.grhya.krsnayajur.bharadvaja.1.11) — Sanskrit - [Kāmasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.kamasutra-school.vatsyayana.3.1.14) — Vātsyāyana Mallanāga, Sanskrit - [Āpastambagṛhyasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.grhya.krsnayajur.apastamba) — Āpastamba, Sanskrit - [Mālatīmādhava](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.prakarana.malatimadhava) — Bhavabhūti, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v2.c26.25](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v2.c26.25) · Pramāṇa
