Verse 3.20.7

लीलोवाच ।
देवि भोस्त्वद्वचो मिथ्या कथं संपन्नमीदृशम् ।
क्व विप्रजीवः स्वगृहे क्वेमे वयमिह स्थिताः ॥ ७ ॥

līlovāca |
devi bhostvadvaco mithyā kathaṃ saṃpannamīdṛśam |
kva viprajīvaḥ svagṛhe kveme vayamiha sthitāḥ || 7 ||

Lila said:—How is it, O goddess! that your words are so incoherent with truth, you make us the same, with the Brahmanic pair, who are in their own house, and we are sitting here in our palace.
