If having married three wives belonging to the three other castes, a Brahmana takes a Brahmani wife the very last of all, yet shall she be considered as the first in rank among all the wives, and as being worthy of the greatest respect. Indeed, among all the cowives, she shall be the foremost.
तिस्रः कृत्वा पुरो भार्याः पश्चाद् विन्देत ब्राह्मणीम्। सा ज्येष्ठा सा च पूज्या स्यात् सा च भार्या गरीयसी।
