Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 14
नैष्ठिकान्नाशनाद्भूयो निवृत्तो रोगवान्सदा । पत्नीबहुत्वे त्वेकस्यां रेतोमोक्षः क्षयी भवेत्
naiṣṭhikānnāśanādbhūyo nivṛtto rogavānsadā | patnībahutve tvekasyāṃ retomokṣaḥ kṣayī bhavet
Sesiapa yang berulang kali berpaling daripada memberi makan kepada pertapa yang teguh dalam tapa akan sentiasa berpenyakit. Dan orang yang mempunyai ramai isteri, namun melepaskan benih hanya pada seorang, akan mengalami kemerosotan dan susut tenaga.

Scene: A renunciant (naiṣṭhika) stands at a doorway with begging bowl; the householder turns away repeatedly. In a parallel vignette, a wealthy man with many wives is shown weakened and wasting, indicating decline from indulgence and imbalance.
