She said: 'I know what is unpleasant to you. Let not what is unpleasant happen to you. Come, I will tell you the path of the gods.' Saying, 'So be it,' she spoke it to him. The two came together in the evening. He said: 'Datva, come here! Instructed by your teacher, you speak. Do you see the path of the gods?' 'No,' he said. 'Well, I see it,' [said the other]. 'Do tell it to me then,' [he said]. Saying, 'So be it,' he spoke it to him. Therefore a nobleman (rājanyabandhu) is indeed more warm-hearted than a Brahmin. Then Datva Sautemanasa said: 'Indeed, you see the path of the gods. Come, let us two go to the heavenly world.'
