The Grandfather at last, O you of great arms, addressed Brahmanicide in sweet words as if from the desire of pacifying her, and said.-0 amiable one, let the king of the gods, who is a favourite of mine, be freed from you. Tell me, what shall I do for you? What wish of yours shall I satisfy?
तामुवाच महाबाहो ब्रह्मवध्यां पितामहः॥ स्वरेण मधुरेणाथ सान्त्वयन्निव भारत। मुच्यतां विदशेन्द्रोऽयं मत्प्रियं कुरु भाविनि॥ ब्रूहि किं ते करोम्यद्य कामं किं त्वमिहेच्छसि॥
