tata enaṃ cintayānameva sa puruṣa uvāca |
uttaṅka enamaśvamadhiroha |
eṣa tvāṃ kṣaṇādevopādhyāyakulaṃ prāpayiṣyatīti || 161 ||

"But Utanka having recovered his ear-rings thought, 'O, this is that sacred day of my preceptress. I am at a distance. How can I, therefore, show my regard for her? And when Utanka was anxious about this, the man addressed him and said, 'Ride this horse, Utanka, and he will in a moment carry thee to thy master's abode.' And Utanka having signified his assent, mounted the horse and presently reached his preceptor's house.
