Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
For the first marriage of twice-born men (wives) of equal caste are recommended; but for those who through desire proceed (to marry again) the following females, (chosen) according to the (direct) order (of the castes), are most approved.
