Sri Bhagavan, while speaking of the marriage ceremony among the Brahmins, said that the Kāsiyātra represents the bridegroom to be a vairāgi-purusha. It is therefore right that he should be given a kanyā (virgin) for leading a householder’s life. It follows that a vairāgi can alone be a good householder.
