3.15.15

kaścidgatastu gaganaṃ kila devakanyāṃ samprāpya cāruvadanāṃ kila bhaktiyuktām |
nāṅgīcakāra caturo vratanāśabhīto yāsyatyayaṃ mama vṛthā hyanukūlaśabdaḥ ||

Some Brahmachârî fought in the battle and was slain. He went up to the heavens; instantly a lovely eyed Devakanyâ, a celestial nymph desired to select him as bridegroom with great devotion. But that clever man did not accept the offer, thinking that his vow of Brahmacharya would be thus broken.

Swami Vijnanananda 1921, The Sri Mad Devi Bhagavatam
