The Brahmanas then said, Bringing them down on the Earth first, we shall quickly subjugate them. After this, the Brahmanas began a rite having for its object the destruction of the Kapas. As soon as this was heard of by the Kapas, they immediately sent a messenger of theirs, named Dhani, to those Brahmanas.
भूगतान् हि विजेतारो वयमित्यब्रुवन् द्विजाः। ततः कर्म समारब्धं ब्राह्मणैः कपनाशनम्॥ तच्छ्रुत्वा प्रेषितो दूतो ब्राह्मणेभ्यो धनी कपैः।
