Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam

śuni caiva śvapāke ca paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ
“The humble sage, by virtue of true knowledge, sees with equal vision a learned and gentle  brāhmaṇa , a cow, an elephant, a dog and a dog-eater [outcaste].” (Bg. 5.18)
Thus a learned man does not look upon the dresses that externally cover the living entity but sees the pure soul within the varieties of dress and knows very well that the varieties of dress are the creation of nescience ( avidyā-racitam ). Being a  śaktyāveśa-avatāra  empowered by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Pṛthu Mahārāja did not change his spiritual position, and consequently there was no possibility of his viewing the material world as reality.
