Having thus thought in his mind, he spoke to one of his disciples after full one month had passed away. “O Atreya, go and ask the king what he had done with the Vami horses. He should return them to your preceptor. He went to the king and spoke to him as instructed. Thereupon the king replied, “These two horses deserve (only) to be possessed by kings. The Brahmanas do not deserve to possess jewels of such value. What business have Brahmanas with horses? Go back with contentment."
