26.3

itthaṃ tayā sa tanayo janmaprabhṛti bodhitaḥ /
cakāra na matiṃ prājño gārhasthyaṃ prati nirmamaḥ //

Jaḍa spoke:
Now the queen trained up that son, as he grew day by day, to unselfish thought by talking and other means. As he regularly gained strength, as he gained his father’s intelligence, even so he acquired knowledge of himself through his mother’s talk. So the youth, instructed by her from his birth, having understanding and being unselfish, did not turn his mind towards family life.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
