Moved by grief also, in the presence of Utanka, the prince asked his ministers the particulars of his father's journey to the regions of the blessed. And when he heard all about the circumstances of his father's death from the lips of Utanka, he was overcome with pain and sorrow. And thus endeth the section called Paushya of the Adi Parva of the blessed Mahabharata."
And approaching him Utanka saluted the monarch by pronouncing blessings and said, 'I am come as a petitioner to thee. And King Paushya, having returned Utanka's salutations, said, 'Sir, what shall I do for thee? And Utanka said, 'I came to beg of thee a pair of ear-rings as a present to my preceptor. It behoveth thee to give me the ear-rings worn by the Queen.
Therefore, please command me what I am to bring. Thus addressed, his preceptress replied, 'Go unto King Paushya and beg of him the pair of ear-rings worn by his Queen, and bring them hither. Then accomplish this, O Utanka! If thou shouldst succeed, good fortune shall attend thee; if not, what good canst thou expect? "Utanka thus commanded, took his departure.
It is divided into several sections; in the beginning are Paushya, Pauloma, and Astika parvas, describing in full the valour and renown of kings. It is a work whose description, diction, and sense are varied and wonderful. It contains an account of various manners and rites. It is accepted by the wise, as the state called Vairagya is by men desirous of final release.
Thy master ate of it before. And Utanka signified his assent and ate of the dung and drank of the urine of that bull, and rose respectfully, and washing his hands and mouth went to where King Paushya was.
"And Utanka being told this, said unto the Queen, 'Lady, be under no apprehension. Takshaka, Chief of the serpents, is not able to overtake me. And having said this, and taking leave of the Queen, he went back into the presence of Paushya, and said, 'Paushya, I am gratified. Then Paushya said to Utanka, 'A fit object of charity can only be had at long intervals.

The Paushya parva treats of the greatness of Utanka, and the Pauloma, of the sons of Bhrigu.

Therefore I pray thee pardon me. Let me not become blind. And Utanka answered, 'What I say must come to pass. Having become blind, thou mayst, however, recover the sight before long. Grant that thy curse also doth not take effect on me. And Paushya said unto him, 'I am unable to revoke my curse. For my wrath even now hath not been appeased. But thou knowest not this.
