Verse 3 (13.122.3)

सुप्रीताः स्म वरं गृह्ण यमिच्छसि महामुने । यद्धि गोषु परां बुद्धिं कृतवानसि नित्यदा ॥

suprītāḥ sma varaṃ gṛhṇa yamicchasi mahāmune | yaddhi goṣu parāṃ buddhiṃ kṛtavānasi nityadā

We are well pleased with you, great sage; choose a boon, whatever you wish, since you have always set your mind supremely on cows."

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition main text; found only in Appendix I no. 9A (13,080.045d@009A_0109-0110). Corrected यद्भि → यद्धि (misprint in Wikisource; CE yaddhi). The speech of the cow-mothers runs on from the second half of the previous verse and fills this whole verse, but carries no printed heading, so it is given to them. (In the CE the label सुमित्र stands at @009A_0110, a line early.)

Verse 4 (13.122.4)

प्रीतोस्म्यनुगृहीतोस्मि यन्मां गोमातरः शुभाः । सुप्रीतमनसः सर्वास्तिष्ठन्ते च वरप्रदाः ॥

prītosmyanugṛhītosmi yanmāṃ gomātaraḥ śubhāḥ | suprītamanasaḥ sarvāstiṣṭhante ca varapradāḥ

I am pleased and favoured, since you, the auspicious mothers of cows, with minds full of delight, all stand here ready to grant boons.
