इष्ट्वा ते पुण्डरीकेण दत्ता राज्ञा द्विजातिषु । तेभ्यो द्वे द्वे शते क्रीत्वा प्राप्तास्ते पार्थिवैस्तदा॥५-११७-७॥
After performing a sacrifice by the Puṇḍarīka rite, the king bestowed those horses upon the twice-born; then, buying them back from the recipients at two hundred each, the kings obtained them at that time.

अपराण्यपि चत्वारि शतानि द्विजसत्तम । नीयमानानि संतारे हृतान्यासन्वितस्तया । एवं न शक्यमप्राप्यं प्राप्तुं गालव कर्हिचित्॥५-११७-८॥
Moreover, O best of Brahmins, four additional hundreds of horses were taken from her while they were being conveyed at the crossing. Thus, O Gālava, what has not been obtained can never be secured at any time by such means.

Present this maiden to him together with two hundreds of horses—present her to Viśvāmitra, O righteous one, along with six hundreds of horses. Then your confusion will be dispelled, O bull among Brahmins, and you will have fulfilled your obligation.
