    In my duty, in my financial commitments, in my needs, I will not violate you. [ Note: In essence it means - In my duty, in my financial commitments, in my needs, I will consult you, will take your consent and act upon. The first oath is taken by the groom and the second by the groom respectively thrice. (विवाह कर्मकाण्ड - vivaaha karmakaaNDa) ]

    I hold your hand so that we may have worthy children and may we be blessed to be inseparable. May the Gods Indra, Varuna and Savitru bless me to be an ideal householder with your kindly support. Note: This oath is taken by the groom. (विवाह कर्मकाण्ड - vivaaha karmakaaNDa)

    सा मां अनुव्रता भव ।




    I am the sky and you are the earth. I am the giver of energy and you are the receiver. I am the mind and you are the word. I am (saama) music and you are the song (RRik).

    Kashyapa says :- Pay respectful attention to your elders; treat other women of family as your dear friends; should your husband wrong you, let not your resentment lead your disobedience.
