Furthermore, out of amusement, Madhumaṅgala sent word to the illustrious king of Vraja through an attendant dear to himself: 'O best of kings, our brāhmaṇas make this submission: 'Our very first birth, named Śaukla (from the seed), was indeed designed for great comfort for people like us. Since in the second birth, named Sāvitra (the investiture), as twice-born of the vaiśya class who have acquired the opulence of their own clan, you, like kṣatriyas, with cooked grains fit to be eaten by brāhmaṇas, have seated us far apart in a separate row, we do not understand what has been served there or what has been served here! Therefore, let the lord of the cowherd settlement first serve us all the sauces once more, after having inspected them with his own eyes. Those very sauces, cooked by the hands of the daughter of Vṛṣabhānu and others and supremely praiseworthy, which formerly even Durvāsas—expelling his evil propensity for anger and manifesting grace—tasted with his tongue according to the Uttaratāpanī Upaniṣad, and which, being distinguished by total deliciousness, the servers secretly stole along the way so that only remnants were left, while others have already been consumed merely with the eyes—having eaten them, we will quickly accept the third birth called Daikṣasa (consecration), consisting of auspicious remedial rites prescribed by the Vedas and Smṛtis, for the sake of the Vaiṣṇava sacrifice!'
