At these words of Gautama. Utanka once again became a youth and accepted that famous maiden for his wife. Receiving the permission of his preceptor, he then addressed his preceptor's wife, saying, What shall I give you as final fee for my preceptor? Do you command me. I wish to do, with riches, or even my life, what is agreeable and beneficial to you.
ततस्तां प्रतिजग्राह युवा भूत्वा यशस्विनीम्। गुरुणा चाभ्यनुज्ञातो गुरुपत्नीमथाब्रवीत्॥ कं भवेत्य प्रयच्छामि गुर्वर्थे विनियुक्ष्व माम्। प्रियं हितं च काङ्क्षामि प्राणैरपि धनैरपि।॥
