77.32

yathā manurmamācaṣṭe neyaṃ matā tathā mama /
viguṇeṣvapi putreṣu na mātā viguṇā bhavet //

Yama spoke:
O father, this great marvel was never seen by any one, that a mother casting love away imprecates a curse on her son. She is not mother to me in the same way as Manu calls her his mother; no mother would abandon her good qualities even towards sons devoid of good qualities.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
