एवंविधैश्च बहुशो वचनैस्तोषिता च सा । सुप्रसन्ना तदा धेनुः किं करोमीति चाब्रवीत्
evaṃvidhaiśca bahuśo vacanaistoṣitā ca sā | suprasannā tadā dhenuḥ kiṃ karomīti cābravīt
Demikianlah, setelah berulang kali dipuaskan oleh kata-kata sedemikian, Dhenu itu menjadi amat berkenan; lalu ia berkata, “Apakah yang harus aku lakukan?”
