Shloka 10
गालवस्य विषादः तथा विष्णुप्रयाणम्
Gālava’s Despair and Resolve to Seek Viṣṇu
Devanagari script
विश्वामित्रो5थ सम्भ्रान्त: श्रपयामास वै चरुम् परमान्नस्य यत्नेन न च तं प्रत्यपालयत्,विश्वामित्रजीने बड़ी उतावलीके साथ उनके लिये उत्तम भोजन देनेकी इच्छासे यत्नपूर्वक चरुपाक बनाना आरम्भ किया; परंतु ये अतिथिदेवता उनकी प्रतीक्षा न कर सके
Transliteration
Viśvāmitro ’tha sambhrāntaḥ śrapayāmāsa vai caruṃ paramānnasya yatnena na ca taṃ pratyapālayat.
Translation
Nārada said: Then Viśvāmitra, in great haste, set about cooking a caru—an excellent offering of fine food—with careful effort; yet he did not wait upon that guest in due time, for the guest could not remain waiting. The episode shows that even sincere intent and lavish preparation fall short when timely hospitality is neglected.
