एतस्मिन्नन्तरे दैवाद्गौतमस्तत्र चागतः ॥ स दयालुस्तृणस्तंम्बैर्वारयामास तां तदा ॥ ३१॥
In the meantime Gautama happened to come there casually. Compassionate by nature, he warded off the cow with a bunch of grass blades.
english translation
तृणस्तंबेन सा स्पृष्टा पपात पृथिवीतले ॥ मृता च तत्क्षणादेव तदृषेः पश्यतस्तदा ॥ ३२ ॥
No sooner was it touched by the blades of grass than the cow fell down dead even as the sage was watching it.

ऋषयश्छन्नरूपास्ते ऋषिपत्न्यस्तथाशुभाः ॥ ऊचुस्तत्र तदा सर्वे किं कृतं गौतमेन च ॥ ३३ ॥
The sages and their wicked wives who were hiding there began to shout, “O see, what is done by Gautama.”
english translation
गौतमोऽपि तथाहल्यामाहूयासीत्सुविस्मितः ॥ उवाच दुःखतो विप्रा दूयमानेन चेतसा ॥ ३४॥
O brahmins, the bewildered Gautama called Ahalyā and spoke with a dejected, distressed mind.

गौतम उवाच ॥ किं जातं च कथं देवि कुपितः परमेश्वरः ॥ किं कर्तव्यं क्व गन्तव्यं हत्या च समुपस्थिता ॥ ३५॥
Gautama said:— O gentle lady, what has happened? How did it happen? Certainly lord Śiva is angry. What should be dene? Where shall we go? The sin of slaughter has befallen me.
