dṛṣṭvānuyāntam ṛṣim ātmajam apyanagnaṃ devyo hriyā paridadhurna sutasya citram /

5. "On seeing the Rishi (Vyasa) coming behind his own son, though he was not naked, the ladies through modesty put on their cloaks; but curiously enough not when they saw (the naked person) of the son. When the sage Vyasa noticed this and asked them, they said," you are alive to the difference between man and woman, but not your son whose eyes are on that thing (Brahman) which is quite different from all the world.

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
