2.1.1

— dṛptabālākirhānūcāno gārgya āsa sa hovācājātaśatruṃ kāśyaṃ brahma

There was formerly the proud Gârgya Bâlâki, a man of great reading. He said to Agâtasatru of Kâsi, 'Shall I tell you Brahman?' Agâtasatru said: 'We give a thousand (cows) for that speech (of yours), for verily all people run away, saying, Ganaka (the king of Mithilâ) is our father (patron).'
