The father of a young girl, is ever miserable, feeling grief the moment she is born, his anxiety increasing as she grows, paying fine ( dowry &e ) when she is married.
निय - घर - सोसा पर गेह-मंडणी कुल-कलंक-कली-भवणं । जेहिं न जाया धूआ ते सुहिया जीव-लोगम्मि ॥ ६४ ॥ निजगृहशोषा परगेहमण्डनी कुलकलङ्ककलिभवनम् । येषां न जाता दुहिता ते सुखिता जीवलोके ॥ ६४ ॥
In this world of life, they are happy who have no daughter born to them, a daughter who destroys ( lit : dries up) her own home and adorns another's, who brings disgrace ( shame ) to her father's lineage (family) and who is the abode of discord (receptacle of the shame of her family and of quarrels.)
