- 'Oh ! well wisher of all ( Kamadhenu ) fear not. Has any great calamity befallen us from any quarter? I hope not. What is the reason for your sorrow? Tell me'. [2-74-21]
- 'God forbid, Oh ! lord of the Immortals ( Indra ), no calamity has befallen you from any quarter. Only I am in trouble. I am weeping for these pair of bulls, my own sons who are in difficulty. [2-74-23]
Oh ! lord of the gods ( Indra ) , when I see them scorched by the rays of the Sun, miserable, emaciated and weeping, beaten by a ploughman, I am immersed in grief. [2-74-24]
These bulls were born from my body and they are oppressed by the burden. Having seen their anguish, I am extremely grieved. There is none so dear as a son.' [2-74-25]
