The King said: O knower of dharma! You speak dharma (by not telling me the identity of your aggressor), because the person who points out the sinner attains the same place as the sinner. You are dharma in the form of a bull.
Though you should tell me, the king, who has beat you, you do not say, because the person who points out the sinner also goes to the same place as the sinner. I can guess that you are dharma himself.
