Sūta said: O excellent brahmins, there was a sage known as Upamanyu. He was as refulgent as Kārttikeya.[2] Once while playing about in the hermitage of his materrial uncle, he got only a small quantity of milk while his uncle’s son drank a good quantity of excellent milk malicioulsy. On seeing him drinking milk as much as he pleased, Upamanyu spoke to his mother. “O mother, O highly blessed mother, O ascetic woman, give me cow’s sweet milk, which should be hot and not too little in quantity. I am bowing down to you.”
