“To him, who will perform this deed, viz., learning the place where at the king of the Nishadhas does live now or bringing him hither with his wife, will I give a thousand kine, fields and a village like a city. Should he fail to bring hither Nala as well as Damayanti, his very knowledge of them would be rewarded by my giving him wealth in the shape of a ten thousand kine."
अस्मिन् कर्मणि सम्पन्ने विज्ञाते निषधाधिपे। गवां सहस्रं दास्यामि यो वस्तावानयिष्यति॥ अग्रहारांश्च दास्यामि ग्राम नगरसम्मितम्। न चेच्छक्याविहानेतुं दमयन्ती नलोऽपि वा॥ ज्ञातमात्रेऽपि दास्यामि गवां दशशतं धनम्।
