¹¹⁶⁸ प्रत्युद्वाहो नैव कार्यो नैकस्मै दुहितृद्वयम् । न चैकजातयोः पुंसोः प्रयच्छेद्दुहितृद्वयम् ॥ स्मृतिमु. (वर्णाश्रमधर्म p. 148); vide also सं. प्र. 725–26 quoting प्रयोगपारिजात for similar verses; सं. कौ. p. 694 quotes almost the same verse as नारद's. We know from the Mahābhārata Ādiparva that Bhīṣma carried off the three daughters of the king of Kāśī for his *protégé* Vicitravīrya and got two of them married to him. Similarly the Sinda chief Cāvuṇḍa appears to have married Lakṣmādevī and Siriyādevī, the two daughters of Kalacurya Bijjala, at the same time (E. I. vol. 20 pp. 109, 111, dated śake 1109).
