mr.D. has defined the various forms of marriage, brahmana, gandharv, rakshasa, paisacha etc. One notes that here it is defined as consummation of sexual intercourse, perod. It raises an interesting point, that our interpretation of many wives in the puranas may not be quite correct. One kept many women may be the concept. Krish
