His preceptor then said, "My beloved Uttanka, you have repeatedly expressed your desire to bring something as an acknowledgement of the instructions you have received from me. Go to your mistress and ask her what you will bring for Dakshina.” Thus directed by his preceptor, Uttanka went to his teacher's wife and said, "Madam, I have received permission of my preceptor to depart and I am desirous to bring something that would be agreeable to you as my Dakshina for the instruction I have received, so that I may be free from my debt of gratitude."
