Matsyapurana 21.22

21.22

na cānyatkāraṇaṃ kiṃcid dhāsyahetau śucismite
na sāmanyat tadā devī prāhālīkamidaṃ vacaḥ //

There was no other reason for his doing so. The queen said that the explanation was not true, and that he laughed at her. She would give up her life. How could a mortal understand the language of lower beings without being a God?—21-23.
