सूत उवाच ॥एतस्मिन्नन्तरे विप्रो गौतमं पर्यभर्त्सयन् ॥ विप्रपत्न्यस्तथाऽहल्यां दुर्वचोभिर्व्यथां ददुः ॥ ३६ ॥

Sūta said:— In the meantime the brahmins reproached Gautama. The wives of the brahmins tormented Ahalyā with threats.

दुर्बुद्धयश्च तच्छिष्यास्सुतास्तेषां तथैव च ॥ गौतम परिभर्त्स्यैव प्रत्यूचुर्धिग्वचो मुहुः ॥ ३७॥

The evil-minded disciples and sons of the brahmins reviled at Gautama repeating the words, “Fie on you.”

ऋषय ऊचुः ॥ मुखं न दर्शनीयं ते गम्यतां गम्यतामिति ॥ दृष्ट्वा गोघ्नमुखं सद्यस्सचैलं स्नानमाचरेत् ॥ ३८ ॥

The sages said:— Your face is not fit to be seen. Go hence. If a person sees the face of a cow-killer, he shall take bath in full dress.

यावदाश्रममध्ये त्वं तावदेव हविर्भुजः ॥ पितरश्च न गृह्णंति ह्यस्मद्दत्तं हि किञ्चन ॥ ३९॥

As long as you stay in the midst of the hermitage, the sacrificial fires and the manes will not accept our gifts.

तस्माद्गच्छान्यतस्त्वं च परिवारसमन्वितः ॥ विलम्बं कुरु नैव त्वं धेनुहन्पापकारक ॥ ४०॥

Hence, O sinner, O slayer of a cow, go somewhere else along with your followers. Do not delay.
