The grey-haired giant still has the strength of three youths. When he is once more with you, among warriors and battle chargers, all will be well."

Thus addressed by that caravan, the princess Damayanti, devoted to her husband and oppressed by the calamity that had befallen her, answered, saying, 'O leader of the caravan, ye merchants, ye youths, old men, and children, and ye that compose this caravan, know me for a human being.
