Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 94
विधिनापि कृता संध्या कालातीता ऽफला भवेत् । अयमेव हि दृष्टांतो वंध्यास्त्रीमैथुनं यथा
vidhināpi kṛtā saṃdhyā kālātītā 'phalā bhavet | ayameva hi dṛṣṭāṃto vaṃdhyāstrīmaithunaṃ yathā
နည်းလမ်းအတိုင်း ပြုလုပ်သော်လည်း အချိန်ကျော်လွန်ပြီးမှ ပြုသော သန္ဓျာပူဇော်မှုသည် အကျိုးမရှိ ဖြစ်သည်။ ဤသည်မှာ ဥပမာ—ကလေးမရနိုင်သော မိန်းမနှင့် မေထုန်ပြုသကဲ့သို့ ဖြစ်၏။
