Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
The gift of a daughter, after decking her (with costly garments) and honouring (her by presents of jewels), to a man learned in the Veda and of good conduct, whom (the father) himself invites, is called the Brahma rite.
