The Brahmana then said, “Your son Brihadgarbha should be killed and cooked by you for my food.” Thereupon I waited to see. He (Shibi) killed his son and cooking him in the proper way, placed it on a vessel and then taking it on his head he went to search for the Brahmana.
अथैनं ब्राह्मणोऽब्रवीद् य एष ते पुत्रो बृहद्गर्भो नाम एष प्रमातव्य इति तमेनं संस्कुरु अन्नं चोपपादय ततोऽहं प्रतीक्ष्य इति। ततः पुत्रं प्रमाथ्य संस्कृत्य विधिना साधयित्वा पाश्यामर्पयित्वा शिरसा प्रतिगृह्य ब्राह्मणममृगयत्॥
