Rahular Itihasa / M. N. Dutt · Adi Parva Chapter 83 · Verse 32

mahabharataved-vyasadi-parva

Sanskrit Original

ययातिरुवाच ऋतुं वै याचमानाया भगवन् नान्यचेतसा। दुहितुर्दानवेन्द्रस्य धर्म्यमेतत् कृतं मया॥ ऋतुं वै याचमानाया न ददाति पुमानृतुम्। भ्रूणहेत्युच्यते ब्रह्मन् स इह ब्रह्मवादिभिः॥ अभिकामां स्त्रियं यश्च गम्यां रहसि याचितः। नोपैति स च धर्मेषु भ्रूणहेत्युच्यते बुधैः॥

Yayati said: Adorable Rishi, I was solicited by the daughter of the Danava king to make her season fruitful. I did grant her prayer from a sense of virtue. O Rishi, men learned in the Vedas say that he, who does not grant the prayer of a woman in season, commits the sin of killing an embryo. He, who, being solicited in secret by a woman full of desire and in season, does not grant her wishes, loses virtue. The learned say that he becomes a killer of embryo.
