3. “I will buy him of thee for one hoof!”—“King Soma, surely, is worth more than that!” says the Soma-seller.—“Yea, King Soma is worth more than that, but great, surely, is the greatness of the cow,” replies the Adhvaryu; and, having (each time) enumerated the same ten virtues, he says, “I will buy him of thee for one foot,”—“for half (the cow),”—“for the cow!”—“King Soma has been bought!” says the Soma-seller, “name the kinds!”
