Srimad Bhagavatam
अम्भसा केवलेनाथ करिष्ये व्रतपारणम् । प्राहुरब्भक्षणं विप्रा ह्यशितं नाशितं च तत् ॥ ९-४-४० ॥
Therefore, O brāhmaṇas, if you think that it will be auspicious and not irreligious, I shall break the fast by drinking water.” In this way, after consulting with the brāhmaṇas, the King reached this decision, for according to brahminical opinion, drinking water may be accepted as eating and also as not eating. ॥ 9-4-40 ॥
english translation
अतएव हे ब्राह्मणो, यदि आप लोग यह सोचें कि यह शुभ है तथा अधर्मनहीं है तो मैं जल पीकर व्रत तोड़ दूँ।” इस प्रकार ब्राह्मणों से परामर्श करने के बाद राजा इस निर्णय पर पहुँचा कि ब्राह्मणों के मतानुसार जल का पीना भोजन करना स्वीकार किया जा सकता है और नहीं भी। ॥ ९-४-४० ॥
