ताटकावधः
The Slaying of Tāṭakā
एवमुक्त्वा सुरास्सर्वे हृष्टा जग्मुर्यथागतम् ॥३१॥
विश्वामित्रं पुरस्कृत्य ततस्सन्ध्या प्रवर्तते ।
evam uktvā surāḥ sarve hṛṣṭā jagmur yathāgatam ||31||
viśvāmitraṃ puraskṛtya tatas sandhyā pravartate |
यह कह के सारे भगवान खुश हो गए। वापस चले गए जैसे आए थे। विश्वामित्र को आगे कर के चल दिए। फिर शाम हो गई।
Having said these words, the celestials were pleased. They honoured Viswamitra and returned to their abodes from where they had come. And then dusk set in.
