Shunasa kha said Let him who has removed the lotusstalks acquire the merit of bestowing his daughter in marriage upon a Brahmana who has studied all the Samans and the Yajushes and who has carefully observed the vow of celibacy. Let him perform the final ablutions after having read all the Atharvans!
शुनःसुख उवाच अध्वर्यवे दुहितरं वा ददातु च्छन्दोगे वा चरितब्रह्मचर्ये। आथर्वणं वेदमधीत्य विप्रः स्नायीत वा यो हरते बिसानि॥
