Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Let him wed a female free from bodily defects, who has an agreeable name, the (graceful) gait of a Hawsa or of an elephant, a moderate (quantity of) hair on the body and on the head, small teeth, and soft limbs. it. But a prudent man should not marry (a maiden) who has no brother, nor one whose father is not known, through fear lest (in the former case she be made) an appointed daughter (and in the latter) lest (he should commit) sin.
