युधिष्ठिर उवाच शुल्कमन्येन दत्तं स्याद् ददानीत्याह चापरः। बलादन्यः प्रभाषेत धनमन्यः प्रदर्शयेत्॥ पाणिग्रहीता चान्य: स्यात् कस्य भार्या पितामह। तत्त्वं जिज्ञासमानानां चक्षुर्भवतु नो भवान्।॥

Yudhishthira said Desirous of marriage some one actually gives a dower to the girl's kinsmen; some one, the girl's kinsmen consenting, promises to give a present; some one says, I shall carry away the girl by force; some one simply shows his riches; some one, again, actually takes the hand of the girl with rites of marriage. I ask you, O grandfather, whose wife does the girl actually become? You are the eye to those who wish to know the truth.
