Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 4 - Chapter 1 - Verse 18


Sanskrit:

सत्यं सुरुच्याभिहितं भवान्मेयद्दुर्भगाया उदरे गृहीत: ।स्तन्येन वृद्धश्च विलज्जते यांभार्येति वा वोढुमिडस्पतिर्माम् ॥ १८ ॥

ITRANS:

satyaṁ surucyābhihitaṁ bhavān meyad durbhagāyā udare gṛhītaḥstanyena vṛddhaś ca vilajjate yāṁbhāryeti vā voḍhum iḍaspatir mām

Translation:

Sunīti said: My dear boy, whatever has been spoken by Suruci is so, because the King, your father, does not consider me his wife or even his maidservant. He feels ashamed to accept me. Therefore it is a fact that you have taken birth from the womb of an unfortunate woman, and by being fed from her breast you have grown up.
