Thereon Rṣabhadatta called his men and said unto them, best and most "Oh beloved of the gods! Bring here the decorated auspicious of chariots, with bells dangling and with precious stones, with good seats and bridle, drawn by two fine and young bulls who have a quick pace, who are beautiful and alike in grace, with similar hoofs and tails, with golden ornaments tied round their neck, with fine movement, with silver bells tinkling, with a golden rope passing through the nostrils of the animals, with blue lotus covering their heads, yoked to it, and report to me the fulfilment of the order.” On receiving this order from the brahmin, his men were highly pleased, till they touched their foreheads with fingers on their folded palms and said, "Oh master ! We shall act as desired by you. " So saying, they accepted the order and proceeded for its execution, till they made ready a fine and auspicious chariot and reported about the same.
