1.2.65
athāvāṃ pṛthivīṃ bhrāntau na ca śrutadharaṃ kvacit /
labdhavantau tataḥ śrāntau prāptāvadya gṛhaṃ tava //
Having heard this from the wife of Varsha, and having immediately given her a hundred gold pieces to relieve her poverty, we went out of that city; then we wandered through the earth, and could not find anywhere a person who could remember what he had only heard once: at last we arrived tired out at your house to-day, and have found here this boy, your son, who can recollect anything after once hearing it: therefore give him us and let us go forth to acquire the commodity knowledge.
