Shloka 12
गालवस्य विषादः तथा विष्णुप्रयाणम्
Gālava’s Despair and Resolve to Seek Viṣṇu
भुक्त मे तिष्ठ तावत् त्वमित्युक्त्वा भगवान् ययौ । विश्वामित्रस्ततो राजन् स्थित एव महाद्युति:
bhukta me tiṣṭha tāvat tvam ity uktvā bhagavān yayau | viśvāmitras tato rājan sthita eva mahādyutiḥ ||
ভগৱান ধৰ্মে ক’লে, ‘মই ভোজন কৰি ল’লোঁ; তুমি এতিয়ালৈকে ইয়াতেই থাক,’ আৰু তাতৰ পৰা গ’ল। হে ৰাজন, তেতিয়া মহাতেজস্বী বিশ্বামিত্ৰ সেই অৱস্থাতেই থিয় হৈ ৰ’ল।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharma expressed as restraint and endurance: even when dismissed or left waiting, a disciplined person maintains composure and steadiness rather than reacting with anger or entitlement.
Dharma tells Viśvāmitra that he has already eaten and instructs him to stay for the moment; Dharma then leaves. Viśvāmitra, described as greatly radiant, remains standing there exactly as he was, continuing to bear the circumstance.
