अथ गाग्यों ह वै बालाकिरनूचानः संस्पृष्ट आस सोऽवददुशीनरेषु स वसन्मत्स्येषु कुरुपञ्चालेषु काशिविदेहेष्विति स हाजातशत्रु काश्यमेत्योवाच । ब्रह्म तें ब्रवाणीति तं होवाचा- जातशत्रुः । सहस्त्रं दद्यस्त इत्येतस्यां वाचि जनको जनक इति वा उ जना धावन्तीति ॥
Now then verily there was Gargya Balaki, a famed Vedic scholar. He dwelt among the Ushinaras, the Satvans and the Matsyas, among the Kurus and the Panchalas, among the Kashis and the Videhas. Having come to Ajatasatru of Kashi, he said, 'Let me declare Brahman to you'. To him then Ajatasatru said: 'A thousand (cows) we give to you'. At such a word as this, verily indeed people would run together, crying 'A Janaka! A Janaka!'
