I shall prepare his curries. I am expert in the business of the kitchen. I shall supercede even those experts who used to made curries for him before and I shall carry from biggest loads of wood and thus render every service; and the king, having seen that splendid work, will appoint me. O Bharata, beholding me doing these superhuman deeds the servants of the monarch will regard me as a king. Thus I shall be the lord of all sorts of food and drink.
सूपानस्य करिष्यामि कुशलोऽस्मि महानसे। कृतपूर्वाणि यान्यस्य व्यञ्जनानि सुशिक्षितैः॥ तान्यप्यभिभविष्यामि प्रीतिं संजनयन्त्रहम्। आहरिष्यामि दारूणां निचयान् महतोऽपि च॥ यत् प्रेक्ष्य विपुलं कर्म राजा संयोक्ष्यते स माम्। अमानुषाणि कुर्वाणस्तानि कर्माणि भारत॥ राज्ञस्तस्य परे प्रेष्या मंस्यन्ते मां यथा नृपम्। भक्ष्यान्नरसपानानां भविष्यामि तथेश्वरः॥
