Sanskrit Text

पञ्च वर्षशतान्येवं कचस्य चरतो व्रतम् तत्रातीयुरथो बुद्ध्वा दानवास्तं ततः कचम्

English Translation

When five hundreds years had thus passed away of his vow, the Danavas came to know his intention. One day the Danavas saw Kacha when he was tending (his preceptor's) kine. They then killed him out of the hatred they bore against Brihaspati and from the desire of saving the knowledge of Sanjivini.
