Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 121
तथाऽयं नैव सामान्यो ब्राह्मणश्च परावसुः । यश्चेदृशीं समासाद्य कन्यां नो विकृतः स्थितः
tathā'yaṃ naiva sāmānyo brāhmaṇaśca parāvasuḥ | yaścedṛśīṃ samāsādya kanyāṃ no vikṛtaḥ sthitaḥ
ដូច្នេះដែរ ព្រះព្រាហ្មណ៍ បរាវសុ នេះ មិនមែនជាមនុស្សធម្មតាទេ; ទោះបានជួបកញ្ញាដ៏ប្រកបដោយសោភា ប៉ុន្តែគាត់នៅតែមានចិត្តមិនរងការប្រែប្រួល និងឈរមាំមួន។
Ānarta (contextual)
