"Then the hunter took off his disguise, took a knife and skinned him, and carried it back on his shoulders. Arriving home, he presented it to the king of the country. When the king saw it, he was delighted and asked his ministers: 'In all my life, I have never heard of an animal with golden fur on its body; how is it that today I see it with my own eyes? How extraordinary! How wondrous!' He gently asked the hunter: 'By what upāya did you obtain this skin?' The hunter then stepped forward and addressed the king: 'I only pray that the great king grant me fearlessness, and I will explain the matter to the great king.' The king said: 'As you wish!' The hunter then recounted the matter in full to the great king.
