Forsooth you are dearer than my life. But it is an incumbent duty to govern the kingdom. Do you therefore, O Kakutstha, live with me for seven nights, and afterwards return to your city with your servants, army and conveyances.
ममापि त्वं सुदयितः प्राणैरपि न संशयः। अवश्यं करणीयं च राज्यस्य परिपालनम्॥ तस्मात्त्वं वस काकुत्स्थ सप्तरात्रं मया सह। ऊवं गन्तासि मधुरां सभृत्यबलवाहनः॥
