Uttanka said to her, “You should give me your ear-rings. I beg them from you as I wish to present them to my preceptor.” The queen, having been highly pleased with the conduct of Uttanka, thought that he was a very good man and he could not be refused. Therefore. she took off her ear-rings and handed them over to him. On giving them to Uttanka she said, “These ear-rings are very much sought after by Takshaka, the King of the Nagas. Therefore take them with the greatest care."
