Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Reprehensible is the father who gives not (his daughter in marriage) at the proper time; reprehensible is the husband who approaches not (his wife in due season), and reprehensible is the son who does not protect his mother after her husband has died.
