वयम् we, पितृमत्य: स्म: have our father, ते भद्रम् may prosperity be to you, स्वच्छन्दे freely, न स्थिता: (we are) not situated, न: us, तव to you, दास्यते यदि whether he gives, त्वम् you, न: our, पितरम् father, वृणीष्व request.
English Commentary
We have our father who is dear to us. Hence we do not have freedom to choose. You may ask our father if he is willing to give us (in marriage).
