What is the meaning of Panigrahana mantras During marriage we find bridegroom holding brides right hand and chanting few mantras. పూషాత్వేతోనయతు హస్తగృహ్యశ్వినౌత్వా   ప్రవహతాగ్గం రధేన |                                     గృహాన్గచ్చ గ్రుమపత్నీ యధా సో వశినీత్వం వితధమావదాసి  || Pushatvethonayathu hasthagruhyasvenoutvaa pravahathaangam radhena | Gruhaangacca grumapatnee yadha so vshenetvam vtadhamaavadaasi || Meaning: Oh my life partner! After our marriage I will take you to my house. You are the owner of the house. Lead the ownership of the house in all matters including ‘yagnas’ (in ancient we used to perform yagnas and homas – a kind of puja, to please the god and make our wishes get fulfilled). Rule the house with right Courteous with all people. Can a wife call her husband with his name?
