arghañcemaṃ pratīccha tvaṃ sthīyatāñcedamāsanam /
vayaṃ bhṛtyā bhavān svāmī dṛḍhamājñāpayasva mām //
The Rākṣasa spoke:
Thou hast done me great favour in that thou hast come to my abode here. Give me thy command. What shall I do, such as 1 am here? I dwell within thy country. Accept thou this arghya offering, and let this seat be placed for thee. We are servants, thou, Sir, art master; command me firmly.
70.13.p1
rājovāca
The king spoke:
Thou hast done everything, even every rite due to a guest.[5] Why hast thou brought the brāhman’s wife here, O night-stalker? She is not comely; there are others comely, if thou didst carry her off for a wife: if to devour her, why hast thou not eaten her? Tell me this.
