The earth appealed to the King in two ways. A king who knows religious principles cannot kill anyone who has not committed sinful activities. Apart from this, a woman is not to be killed, even if she does commit some sinful activities. Since the earth was innocent and was also a woman, the King should not kill her.
Since you are supposed to be the knower of all religious principles, why are you so envious of me, and why are you so anxious to kill a woman?
