You being my father’s disciple, how dare you put on my garments. You will never prosper on account of your ignorance of laws of good conduct.”—7. Śarmisṭhâ said: "Your father sits and sleeps at the command of my father; he praises him and asks and answers questions put by my father from his throne, while your father sits humbly on a lower seat. You are the daughter of a father who always begs, sings panegyrics and receives gifts from my father; whilst I am the daughter of one who is always praised, is the giver of gifts, but accept no gifts from any one. You beggar! I do not care a straw for you. How dare you unarmed, show your wrath to me who is armed?"—8-11. > — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam - [Previous: 27.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.27.8) - [Next: 27.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.27.10) - [Up: 27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.27) ## Translations (2) - [The Matsya Puranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-taluqdar.27.p3) — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-mt.27.9) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [Critical edition (BORI)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*crit.1.73.9) — Sanskrit - [Matsya](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.samhita.matsya.26.9) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.27.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.27.9) · Pramāṇa
