Vivāha Vṛndāvana

What this text is

The dedicated classic of marriage election.

Marriage doṣas (durdhara/kartari and kin), Jupiter–Venus infancy/old-age (bālya/vṛddhatva) rules, ascendant purification, and matching doctrine, with the Vasantalakṣmī Hindi commentary in our copy.

Its role in this app

Matching and muhūrta seats: its verse 6 gives eka-nāḍī the death register (part of our finding that the popular progeny reading of nāḍī doṣa has no classical seat); it reports and rejects the regional 4-nāḍī/5-nāḍī schemes for universal practice — a dispute we record rather than resolve; its doṣa and bālya/vṛddhatva rules corroborate the marriage-election layer.
