MN DUTT: 09-019-002 आर्ष एष भवेद् धर्मः प्राजापत्योऽथवाऽऽसुरः |
M. N. Dutt: Is that declaration about satisfying all duties together due only to what is laid down by the great Rishis in days of yore, or does it refer to the duty of procreating children from religious motives, or has it reference to only the carnal pleasure that is expected from such an intercourse of the sexes? |

BORI CE: 13-019-003 संदेहः सुमहानेष विरुद्ध इति मे मतिः |

M. N. Dutt: The Rishis have said that women, in particular are false in behaviour. When human beings are such, land when women in particular are described in the Shastras to be false, how, O sire, can there be a union between the sexes for purposes of performing all duties together. |

M. N. Dutt: In the very Vedas one may read that women are false, The word 'Duty', as used in the Vedas, appears to have been coined first for general application. Therefore the application of that word to the rites of marriage is, instead of being correct, only a form of speech forcibly applied where it has no application. |

M. N. Dutt: The subject appears to be inexplicable although I think of it always. O grandfather, O you of great wisdom, you should explain this to me fully, clearly and according to the Shruti. In fact, do you explain to me what it is, what its characteristics are, and the way in which it has come to pass. to me |
