Devanagari script
भीष्म उवाच एवमुक््त्वा निववृते मातड्र: कौशिकं तदा । विश्वामित्रो जहारैव कृतबुद्धि: श्वजाघनीम्,भीष्मजी कहते हैं--युधिष्ठि!! ऐसा कहकर चाण्डाल मुनिको मना करनेके कार्यसे निवृत्त हो गया। विश्वामित्र तो उसे लेनेका निश्चय कर चुके थे; अतः कुत्तेकी जाँघ ले ही गये
Translation
Bhīṣma said: “Having spoken thus, Mātanga, the Caṇḍāla, then ceased trying to restrain Kauśika (Viśvāmitra). But Viśvāmitra, his resolve already fixed, took the dog’s thigh and carried it away.”
