"Where are you going from heaven, O herdsman?" / "To the earth, O divine sage!" / "Desiring to bring a bundle of grass for the calf of the wish-granting cow!" / "Now, you foolish one, she has no milk!"
"Having heard of the lavish gifts of King Bhoja, her udders have dried up from shame." / [The brahmin] recited: 'Along with lentils cooked in clarified butter.' [The two lines forming the first half of a verse were composed, but] the second half did not appear in his mind.
