Finding myself in a terrible dilemma concerning my duty in the situation, I humbly entreated both the brahmanas: "I will give one hundred thousand of the best cows in exchange for this one. Please give her back to me. Your good selves should be merciful to me, your servant. I did not know what I was doing. Please save me from this difficult situation, or I'll surely fall into a filthy hell."
