Devanagari script
प्रतीप उवाच नाहं परस्त्रियं कामाद् गच्छेयं वरवर्णिनि । न चासवर्णा कल्याणि धर्म्यमेतद्धि मे व्रतम्,प्रतीपने कहा--सुन्दरी! मैं कामवश परायी स्त्रीके साथ समागम नहीं कर सकता। जो अपने वर्णकी न हो, उससे भी मैं सम्बन्ध नहीं रख सकता। कल्याणि! यह मेरा धर्मानुकूल व्रत है
Translation
Sinabi ni Pratīpa: “O marikit na babae, hindi ako makalalapit, dahil sa pita, sa asawa ng iba. At ikaw na mapalad, hindi rin ako makikipag-ugnayan sa hindi kauri. Ito ang aking panatang naaayon sa dharma.”
