I always stand in great fear of these words of the Brahmana. The kings of the Lunar dynasty, the lords of people's happiness and on COW as misery, offered him a thousand kine and six hundred bovine bulls. Still with such a gift O Shalya, O king Madra, the Brahmana was not grated.
तस्माद् बिभेमि बलवद् ब्राह्मणव्याहतादहम्। एते हि सोमराजान ईश्वराः सुखदुःखयो॥ अदां तस्मै गोसहस्रं बलीवर्दाश्च षट्शतान्। प्रसादं न लभे शल्य ब्राह्मणान्मद्रकेश्वर॥
