The Āśv. gṛ. pariśiṣṭa I. 23 says that first of all a piece of cloth is held between the bride-groom and bride and that at the proper astrological moment it is removed and then the two see each other. Laghu-Āśvalāyana-smṛti (15. 20) also says the same. This practice is observed even now. When the interposed cloth is held between the bride and bride-groom verses called maṅgalāṣṭakas are repeated by brāhmaṇas, the last of which verses is 'tad-eva lagnaṁ sudinaṁ tad-eva' &c. - [Previous: v2.c26.424](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v2.c26.424) - [Next: v2.c26.426](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v2.c26.426) - [Up: v2.c26](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v2.c26) ## Cites (4) - [Baudhāyanagṛhyasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.grhya.krsnayajur.baudhayana.1.1.24) — Baudhāyana, Sanskrit - [Pāraskaragṛhyasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.grhya.paraskara.1.4) — Pāraskara, Sanskrit - [Ṛgvedasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.samhita.rg.10.85.44) — Sanskrit - [Āpastambagṛhyasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.grhya.krsnayajur.apastamba) — Āpastamba, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v2.c26.425](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v2.c26.425) · Pramāṇa
