Bhishma said They who know the ancient history recite the following verse of Daksha the son of Prachetas, viz.,-That maiden, for whom nothing is taken by her kinsmen in the form of dower, cannot be said to be sold.
भीष्म उवाच प्राचेतसस्य वचनं कीर्तयन्ति पुराविदः। यस्याः किंचित्राददते ज्ञातयो न स विक्रयः॥
