Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 28
अनन्ततृप्तिदं नैव तत्सुतैरपि वा तथा । क्रयक्रीता च या कन्या दासी सा परिकीर्तिता
anantatṛptidaṃ naiva tatsutairapi vā tathā | krayakrītā ca yā kanyā dāsī sā parikīrtitā
সেই ব্যৱস্থাই অনন্ত তৃপ্তি নিদিয়ে, আনকি তাইৰ পুত্ৰৰ দ্বাৰাও নহয়। আৰু যি কন্যাক ধন দি ক্ৰয় কৰা হয়, তাইক দাসী বুলি কোৱা হয়।
