पर्वस्व् अभिगमो ऽधन्यो दिवा पापप्रदो नृप भुवि रोगप्रदो नॄणाम् अप्रशस्तो जलाशये
parvasv abhigamo 'dhanyo divā pāpaprado nṛpa bhuvi rogaprado nṝṇām apraśasto jalāśaye
हे नृप, पर्व-दिनों में (ऐसे स्थान का) जाना अशुभ कहा गया है; दिन में वह पाप देता है और पृथ्वी पर मनुष्यों को रोग देता है। इसलिए जलाशयों के विषय में यह अप्रशस्त, अकरणीय है।
Sage Parāśara (in instruction to Maitreya; addressing a kingly archetype as 'nṛpa')
