Commentary

Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated

Now he tells the husband's kin with "patyuḥ". The husband's mother, the mother-in-law; the husband's father, the father-in-law; the husband's brother; the sons of the husband's brother and the husband's sister; and the brothers of the husband's father, the father-in-law: these are to be known as the husband's kin.
