Saudasa said Those jewelled ear-rings, O learned and twice-born Rishi, belong to my wife. They should be asked from her. Do you therefore, solicit some other things froin me. I shall give it to you, O you of excellent vows!
पत्न्यास्ते मम विप्रर्षे उचिते मणिकुण्डले। वरयार्थं त्वमन्यं वै तं ते दास्यामि सुव्रत॥
