Sanskrit Text

एवमुक्तः पौष्यस्तं प्रत्युवाच संप्रति भवानुच्छिष्टः स्मर तावत् हि सा क्षत्रिया उच्छिष्टेनाशुचिना वा शक्या द्रष्टुम् पतिव्रतात्वादेषा नाशुचेर्दर्शनमुपैतीति

English Translation

Paushya thought for a while and then replied “Carefully recollect, Sir, whether you are defiled with the impurities of a repast. The queen is a chaste woman and therefore she cannot be seen by one who is defiled by the impurities of a repast. She does not appear before one who is so defiled."
