AVŚ 5.17.3
हस्तेनैव ग्राह्य आधिर् अस्या ब्रह्मजायेति चेद् अवोचत् । न दूताय प्रहेया तस्थ एषा तथा राष्ट्रं गुपितं क्षत्रियस्य ॥३॥
hastenaiva grāhya ādhir asyā brahmajāyeti ced avocat | na dūtāya praheyā tastha eṣā tathā rāṣṭraṃ gupitaṃ kṣatriyasya ||3||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
To be seized by the hand indeed is the pledge (? ādhí) of her, if one has said "[she is] the Brahman's wife"; she stood not to be sent forth for a messenger: so is made safe (gupitá) the kingdom of the Kshatriya.}}
