विश्वामित्रस्तु धर्मात्मा सर्वदेवैरभिष्टुत:।।।।ऋषिभिश्च महातेजा बाढमित्याह देवता:।
viśvāmitras tu dharmātmā sarvadevair abhiṣṭutaḥ || ṛṣibhiś ca mahātejā bāḍham ity āha devatāḥ |
তখন ধর্মাত্মা মহাতেজস্বী বিশ্বামিত্র, সকল দেবতা ও ঋষিদের দ্বারা স্তূত হয়ে, দেবতাদের বললেন—“বাঢ়ম্ (তথাস্তু)।”
In this manner extolled by all devatas and rishis, mighty and righteous Viswamitra said, 'well let it be so'.
