Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 154
मुनिरुवाच । त्वया सह न संवादो मया कार्योऽधुना क्वचित् । या त्वं बालापि मामेवं निषेधयसि सर्वतः
muniruvāca | tvayā saha na saṃvādo mayā kāryo'dhunā kvacit | yā tvaṃ bālāpi māmevaṃ niṣedhayasi sarvataḥ
قال الحكيم: «الآن لا حوارَ لي معك بعدُ أبدًا؛ لأنكِ، وإن كنتِ بعدُ فتاةً، تمنعينني من كل جهةٍ على هذا النحو.»
Muni (the sage)
Listener: his daughter
Scene: A sage, composed yet firm, raises a palm in gentle refusal; a young girl-scholar stands or sits opposite, confident; the atmosphere is disciplined, not angry.
