tābhyāntu tadapi tyaktaṃ bhokṣyā vo vai varānane!
prasaṃgādupavāsena tavādya sukhamāvayoḥ.. 100.24 ..

“The courtezan was very much pleased with your devotion and offered you 300 gold coins which both of you did not accept, as you were both then filled with sattvaguṇa (_i.e._, your hearts became pure,) at which the courtezan became still more pleased with you, had four kinds of delicious foods brought and asked you to eat. You again declined to partake of her hospitality, and said, ‘We shall have food at some other time. We are exceedingly glad to-day with your acquaintance and the keeping fast. Hitherto we have been carrying a vicious life and have been sinners all along.’ By her contact you had then acquired some virtue.—22-25.
