Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 41
रंभोवाच यद्येवं ब्राह्मणश्रेष्ठ मां भजस्व यथासुखम् । नात्र कश्चिद्भवेद्दोषः पण्यनारी यतोऽस्म्यहम्
raṃbhovāca yadyevaṃ brāhmaṇaśreṣṭha māṃ bhajasva yathāsukham | nātra kaścidbhaveddoṣaḥ paṇyanārī yato'smyaham
രമ്പ പറഞ്ഞു—അങ്ങനെ ആണെങ്കിൽ, ഹേ ബ്രാഹ്മണശ്രേഷ്ഠാ! നിനക്ക് സുഖമുള്ളവിധം എന്നെ ഭജിക്കൂ. ഇതിൽ യാതൊരു ദോഷവും ഇല്ല; കാരണം ഞാൻ സ്വഭാവതഃ പണ്യനാരി.
