I have become sober, on the consideration that the mundane boons in the form of grain, gold, domestic animals, (horses, cattle, etc.) women, are not meant for any single individual. Son! I have had enough of pleasures according to my potency by acquiring your vigour of youth; I am consequently very much pleased with you, now you take back your bloom of youth from me and also receive charge of this vast realm. You are my dearest son.”—8-13. > — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam - [Previous: 34.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.34.12) - [Next: 34.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.34.14) - [Up: 34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.34) ## Translations (2) - [The Matsya Puranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-taluqdar.34.p3) — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-mt.34.13) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [Critical edition (BORI)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*crit.1.80.10) — Sanskrit - [Matsya](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.samhita.matsya.33.13) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.34.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.34.13) · Pramāṇa
