Do you bestow on me Śabala for an hundred thousand kine. O worshipful one, verily this one is a jewel; and as it is the function of kings to acquire jewels, do you confer on me Śabala; for, O twice-born one, this one by right belongs to me.
गवां शतसहस्रेण दीयतां शबला मम। रत्नं हि भगवनेतद् रत्नहारी च पार्थिवः॥ तस्मान्मे शबलां देहि ममैषा धर्मतो द्विज ।
