1. He bargains for the king (Soma); and because he bargains for the king, therefore any and everything is vendible here. He says, “Soma-seller, is thy king Soma for sale?”—“He is for sale,” says the Soma-seller.—“I will buy him of thee!”—“Buy him!” says the Soma-seller.—“I will buy him of thee for one-sixteenth (of the cow).”—“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,” says the Adhvaryu.
