Commentary
Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated
He says that the king should have a woman married to a eunuch married again, with "śaṇḍhena" and the rest. Even if the time has gone by, the king (pārthiva), knowing it, should have a girl who was married to a śaṇḍha, a eunuch, married again. But this is not to be accepted, since the Vedas and the rest do not approve it? To that he says "vidhiḥ": this is a rule told by Śiva, spoken by Śiva. Śaṇḍha comes from the root śam with the suffix ḍha.
