If you were to take this person back again to the vicinity of Pañcavaṭī, like a favorable wind bringing a strayed boat to the proximity of the shore, then surely the lord of my life will show mercy even to you, and Yama, the lord of life himself, would become merciful toward you.
You will also become an object of the imperishable friendship of the son of Daśaratha."
