Explanation: In 'Arsha' marriage (one of the 8 forms of marriage mentioned in Dharmashastra texts like Manu Smriti), the groom gave a cow and a bull to the bride's family as a symbolic/ritual gift. The 8 forms: Brahma (most virtuous — gift of daughter to learned Brahmin), Daiva, Arsha, Prajapatya, Gandharva (love marriage), Asura (bride price), Rakshasa (abduction), Paishacha (worst — seduction). Of these, the first four are 'approved' in Brahminical tradition. Gandharva marriage is important — it was a voluntary union based on mutual love (Shakuntala-Dushyanta story).
