एतच छरुत्वा वचस तस्या देव्याः परियचिकीर्षया पृथ्व आद्यैर भरातृभिः सार्धं दयौस तदा तां जहार गाम ॥ १-९३-२६ ॥

'Upon hearing his consort's words, Dyu, motivated by a wish to indulge her, clandestinely took the cow, with the assistance of his brothers, Prithu among them. Indeed, under the directive of his lotus-eyed wife, Dyu complied with her request, momentarily disregarding the formidable ascetic virtues of the sage who was the cow's owner.' ॥ 1-93-26 ॥

'Appointed by her with lotus-petal eyes, Dyu, the king at that time, could not bear to witness the intense penance of that sage. When he took the cow away, the reason for his action was not scrutinized.' ॥ 1-93-27 ॥
