Dear sirs, whose servants are you, where have you come from, and why are you forbidding us to touch the body of Ajāmila? Are you demigods from the heavenly planets, are you sub-demigods, or are you the best of devotees?
Srimad Bhagavata Purana
श्रीमद्भागवतमहापुराणम्
मूल श्लोकः
कस्य वा कुत आयाताः कस्मादस्य निषेधथ । किं देवा उपदेवा या यूयं किं सिद्धसत्तमाः
kasya vā kuta āyātāḥ kasmādasya niṣedhatha | kiṃ devā upadevā yā yūyaṃ kiṃ siddhasattamāḥ
