Bhāryārthin (भार्यार्थिन्) refers to “one who seeks a wife”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.18 (“Gaṇeśa crowned as the chief of Gaṇas”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Whoever hears this narrative auspiciously with pure mind shall have everything auspicious and be the abode of auspiciousness. The childless will get a son, the indigent wealth; the seeker of a wife (bhāryārthin) will get a wife and the seeker of issues will get children. The sick will regain health; the miserable will have good fortune. The sonless, impoverished, banished wife will be reunited with her husband. [...]”

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
