The learned men praise the eighth form of marriage, but the Svaymavara is highly spoken by the kings. But the sages have said that the wife taken by force amidst an assemblage of kings after defeating them is to be highly prized. Therefore, O kings, I carry away these maidens by force. Try with all your strength to defeat me or be defeated.
आर्ष विधि पुरस्कृत्य दारान् विन्दन्ति चापरे॥ अष्टमं तमथो वित्त विवाहं कविभिर्वतम्। स्वयंदरं तु राजन्याः प्रशंसन्त्युपयान्ति च॥ प्रमथ्य तु हृतामाहुायसी धर्मवादिनः। ता इमाः पृथिवीपाला जिहीर्षामि बलादितः॥ ते यतध्वं परं शक्त्या विजयायेतराय वा।
