Verse 3.53.29

श्रीदेव्युवाच ।
अप्रबुद्धधियः सिद्धलोकान्पुण्यवशोदितान् ।
न समर्थाः स्वदेहेन प्राप्तुं छाया इवातपान् ॥ २९ ॥

śrīdevyuvāca |
aprabuddhadhiyaḥ siddhalokānpuṇyavaśoditān |
na samarthāḥ svadehena prāptuṃ chāyā ivātapān || 29 ||

The goddess replied:—It is not possible for unenlightened souls (as that of the young Lila), to approach in person to holy spirits (or their persons or places), which are visible and accessible only to the meritorious, and unapproachable by gross bodies as the sun light is inaccessible by a shadow.
