Sri Bhagavan, while speaking of the marriage ceremony among the Brahmins, said that the Kasiyatra ^[?] represents the bridegroom to be a vairagi-purusha. It is therefore right that he should be given a kanya ^[?] (virgin) for leading a householder's life. It follows that a vairagi can alone be a good householder.
