पिता ज्येष्ठमविक्रेयं माता चाह कनीयसम् | विक्रेतं मध्यमं मन्ये राजपुत्र नयस्व माम् || १-६१-२१
- 'Oh ! King my father says his eldest son cannot be sold, mother says that her youngest son cannot be spared. From this I think middle son is already sold away. Therefore, take me.' [1-61-21]
Oh ! dextrous Rama, when that advocate of Veda-s, namely Shunashepa finished his speech, then the king gave gold, silver, and gemstones, each in ten million heaps..... - [1-61-22]
- and even a hundred thousand cows and oh ! Rama, the legatee of Raghu, that king Ambariisha went away highly gladdened to take Shunashepa with him. [1-61-23]
That great resplendent and highly renowned rajarshi Ambariisha on his part proceeded hastily after ascending Shunashepa onto the chariot that hastily. ( Thus Sage Shataananda continued his narration ). [1-61-24]
