Adhyaya 23 — Ashvatara’s Vow for Madalasa and the Bestowal of Musical Science by Sarasvati
गत्वा तस्य पुरं सख्यू रेमाते तेन धीमता ।
ततः कुवलयाश्वं तौ कृत्वा किञ्चित्कथान्तरम् ॥
gatvā tasya puraṃ sakhyū remāte tena dhīmatā |
tataḥ kuvalayāśvaṃ tau kṛtvā kiñcit kathāntaram ||
तौ तस्य नगरं गत्वा तेन धीमता सह मित्रौ मुदितौ। ततः कुवलयाश्वविषये किञ्चिदन्यत् कृत्वा, अन्यसंभाषणानन्तरं प्रस्थितौ।

‘Other conversation’ marks a hinge-point: the text signals movement from enjoyment to consequential action—symbolically, from saṃsāric pleasure to dharma-driven purpose.
