Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 27
अनभिज्ञा च सा साध्वी कामधर्मस्य केवलम् । तापसैः सह संवृद्धा नान्यं जानाति किंचन
anabhijñā ca sā sādhvī kāmadharmasya kevalam | tāpasaiḥ saha saṃvṛddhā nānyaṃ jānāti kiṃcana
ती साध्वी स्त्री कामधर्माच्या रीतींपासून पूर्णतः अनभिज्ञ होती; तपस्व्यांसोबत वाढल्यामुळे तिला दुसरे काहीच माहीत नव्हते।
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa)
Scene: A modest, virtuous woman in simple garments stands among ascetics’ huts; her demeanor is calm and unworldly, suggesting she has never learned the language of erotic desire.
