उन्नामितौत्तमांगो भाषति वाचां इमां तुरगराजा ।
को गंसति वो पारं समुद्रस्य लवणतोयस्य ।
कं स्वस्तिना नयामि कस्य मम ऋध्यतु वचनं ॥ १०७ ॥

Lifting up his head the king of horses spoke these words: “Who of you will go to the shore beyond the salt flood of ocean? Whom shall I take to safety? Who will say to me, ‘Let your promise prosper’?” (107)
