Manu-smṛti 2.67 · inspected electronic text
vaivāhiko vidhiḥ strīṇāṃ saṃskāro vaidikaḥ smṛtaḥ | patisevā gurau vāso gṛhārtho 'gniparikriyā ||The verse calls the marriage rite a Vedic saṁskāra for women and presents historical role-equivalences. Publishing the witness does not endorse every social prescription as a universal contemporary rule.
Verification boundary
The former page’s reconstructed saptapadī quotation, universal ritual sequence, horoscope threshold, doṣa list, and “every Hindu” claims are withdrawn pending source-specific review.
Mantra, procedure, timing, and health boundary
Vidhyamitra does not publish a “primary mantra,” canonical procedure, modern adaptation, medical effect, or personal timing instruction for this rite until each claim is checked against a named edition and address. Living ritual performance belongs with a qualified guru or paṇḍita in the relevant family and regional paramparā; medical care belongs with qualified clinicians.
🪷 A disclosed calendar-factor comparison supports this event label.
Sources and Connected Saṁskāra Readings
After the record's textual witness and verification boundary, these links connect the received catalogue, source-status context, hosted thematic readings, and Vidhyamitra's Bindu and philosophy foundations. A connected reading is not evidence for a rite's mantra, procedure, timing, or medical effect.
