Having accepted the hospitality offered by Ahalyā and Gautama in that place, Viśvāmitra, accompanied by the princes, proceeded to the sacrificial hall of Janaka in the vicinity of Mithilā.
Then, when he was duly honored by Janaka, Śatānanda, the family priest of the line of Nimi, spoke thus to the delight of the Raghus:
“Remaining in conduct appropriate for a kṣatriya, this sage went to the hermitage of the son of Brahmā;
receiving hospitality there, and realizing that it was limitless due to the power of Surabhi,
she was begged by him; then, when the best of sages did not consent, he dragged away
that crying [cow], but terrified by her who assumed abundant force, he became a fugitive. (95)
