The monarch asked the charioteer not to lose any time. But Bahuka, with great humility, answered him, saying, "Do you wait for a moment; or, if you are in a hurry, go then with Varshneya, as your charioteer. The way goes smooth and straight."
तमब्रवीनृपः सूतं नायं कालो विलम्बितुम्। बाहुकस्त्वब्रवीदेनं परं यत्नं समास्थितः॥ प्रतीक्षस्व मुहूर्तं त्वमथवा त्वरते भवान्। एष याति शिवः पन्था याहि वार्ष्णेयसारथिः॥
