पुनश्च ब्रह्महत्याया नाशो यत्र भवेदिह॥ तत्स्थलं च मया दृष्टं हत्या मे हि गमिष्यति॥ ३१॥

I know the place that dispels the sin of brahmin-slaughter. Going there I can get rid of the sin of Brahmin-slaughter.

Sūta said:— O excellent brahmins, on hearing these words of the mother cow, the calf observed silence. It did not say anything more.
