Similarly you, too, being the daughter of my preceptor and the beloved of Bhârgava (Śukra), are worthy of being venerated and adored by me. Your father, the sage Śukra, is my venerable preceptor, consequently it does not behove you to make any such proposal to me because you are to be honored as a daughter of my guru and therefore should be honored as my guru.” 6-8. > — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam - [Previous: 26.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.26.7) - [Next: 26.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.26.9) - [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.p3) — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-mt.26.8) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Critical edition (BORI)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*crit.1.72.8) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.26.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.26.8) · Pramāṇa
