7 rounds have a symbolic representation for both Bride and the Groom in its own ways.
For Boy (These are mostly the external factors that influence the family by virtue of the male role in the family)
Round 1: Ish ekpadi Bhava
This First step is to ensure that he feeds his family
Vow: 1. We will share the responsibilities of the house, food and
finance together. May God bless us with children and may they have
long lives
Round 2: Urje dvipadi Bhava
This Second step is for his strength for the family
Vow: You are only my beloved wife. I will love you and only you. I
give commitment will provide strength and courage to you, my wife,
always.
Round 3: Raisyoposhai tripadi Bhava
This Third step is for the wealth for the family
Vow: The third step is for the growth of prosperity and wealth, and to
educate their children
Round 4: Mayobhaviyay chaturshpadi Bhava
This Fourth step is for the Happiness and peace for the family
Vow: In the fourth step he thanks his wife for bringing auspiciousness
and sacredness in his life.
Round 5: Prajabh'yaha panchmadi Bhava
This Fifth step is for the kids in the family
Vow: In the fifth step may the Goddess Mahalaxmi (Deity of Prosperity)
make us prosperous and God bless us.
Round 6: Rutubh'yaha shastpadi Bhava
This sixth step is for good seasons
Vow: In the sixth step the groom promises the bride that he will fill
her heart with great joy and peace, time and time again
Round 7: Sakha Saptapadi Bhava
This seventh step is for the divine bond of friendship between the
husband and wife
Vow: This is the last and final step. Here the groom tells his bride
that as you have walked seven steps with me you have made our love and
friendship firm and inseparable. Now you have become mine and I offer
my total self to you. May our marriage successfully last forever.
These responsibilities from the side of the groom are such that even
after divorce he keeps on feeding the lady irrespective of her vows.
Interesting further is the part of the Bride. And I have also narrated
the actual facts that we get to hear in real life against each Vow.
For Girl (These are mostly the Internal factors that influence the
family by virtue of the female role in the family)
Round 1: Sukh Dukhani sarvani tvayasaha vimjayate; yatr tvam tanduham
tantra prathame sa brabididdum.
Vow: The vow is that all the moments of joy and struggle would be
shared equally by the bride, and where ever and whatever be the
condition of the husband the bride would be always there by his side
and be just like one of his.
Round 2: Kutumbam Rakshayishyamya-BalVrudhkadiddum; Asti nastiti
pashchaymi dvitiye sa brabididdum
Vow: I take responsibility for safeguarding all the family members
right from the smallest kid to the eldest senior. The acceptance of
family is obvious here.
Round 3: Bhatrubhaktirta nityam sadaiva priyabhashini, bhavisyami
padey chaiva trutiye saa brabhididdum
Vow: My devotion to you my beloved will be unperturbed and I will
decorate your life with my sweet language.
Round 4: Aarte Aarta Bhavishyami Sukhdukhsambhavini; Tavagna
palishyami kanya turyapadedabrebit
Vow: Your Pain is my Pain in any department and so is your Happiness;
I shall follow all your orders.
Round 5: Rutukale Suchisasanatta Kridishyami tvaya saha; Naha parantar
gachcheh kanya pashkshepadedbrebit
Vow: During the right phase I would rightly inform you and have only
you as my partner for physical relationship. And I would not indulge
with any stranger.
Round 6: ihath sakshi vishnusatvayadaham naiva vakshichta; Ubhayoha,
Preetiha, sambhuta kanya sashatepadebrebit
Vow: In witness of Lord Vishnu I swear that I have not fooled you and
haven't kept you in dark about anything; with this confession I pledge
we are now in a wedlock.
Round 7: Homyagnadikaryeshu bhavamicha sahayani; dharmarth kam
karyeshu kanya saptapadedbrabit.
Vow: O my lord, in all acts of righteousness (Dharma), in every form
of enjoyment, and in those divine acts such as fire sacrifice, worship
and charity, I promise you that I shall participate and I will always
be with you.
