You ask me to enter into an engagement which is so improper. You are greater even than the preceptor. Be pleased, O moon-faced! I have also lived in the stomach of Śukra where you had also lived; in this way you are lawfully my sister. I passed my days in comfort here. I have committed no fault, am not angry with you at your illegal proposal. Now I take leave of you; wish me a happy journey. You may think of me in connection with anything which may be in conformity with Dharma. You should always adore my preceptor with constant attention.”—12-16. > — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam - [Previous: 26.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.26.13) - [Next: 26.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.26.15) - [Up: 26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.26) ## Translations (2) - [The Matsya Puranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-taluqdar.26.p5) — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-mt.26.14) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Critical edition (BORI)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*crit.1.72.14) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.26.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.26.14) · Pramāṇa
