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.
