3.111.11

veśyovāca |
mamāśramaḥ kāśyapaputra ramyastriyojanaṃ śailamimaṃ pareṇa |
tatra svadharmo'nabhivādanaṃ no na codakaṃ pādyamupaspṛśāmaḥ || 11 ||

"The courtesan said, O son of Kasyapa! on the other side of yonder hill, which covers the space of three Yojanas, is my hermitage--a delightful place. There, not to receive obeisance is the rule of my faith nor do I touch water for washing my feet. I am not worthy of obeisance from persons like thee; but I must make obeisance to thee. O Brahmana! This is the religious observance to be practised by me, namely, that thou must be clasped in my arms.'"

Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
