Sanskrit (Devanāgarī)
तस्मिन्नुभयतो दोषे कुर्वञ्छ्रेयः समाचरेत् । अयं नः सर्वधर्माणां धर्मश्चिन्त्यतमो मतः ॥
English Scholarly Translation
In such a case either alternative appears to be sinful, for to discard the person to whom the girl has been promised can never be honorable, while to reject the person who is more eligible can never be good. I ask, how should the father act so that he might be said to do that which is beneficial? To us, of all duties this seems to deserve utmost deliberation.
