The king has heard — and is wounded to perfection: sa ha saṁjihāna eva kṣattāram uvāca — "rising at once [from his bed], he said to his steward": the night has been listened out sleepless, and the first word of the morning is of Raikva! And the king's question is touchingly pitiful: "you speak of me as of Raikva, don't you?" — he asks his servant to repeat the geese's compliment, hoping the comparison may yet be in his favour.
And the servant guilelessly repeats the first goose's question: "and what is he like, this Raikva?" — no one at court knows a name that stands above the king's glory! Jānaśruti's wound is of a noble kind: he is stung not by an insult but by the existence of an unknown superiority: so every genuine discipleship begins — with a sleepless night over the fact that someone knows something you do not.
