फिर वशिष्ठ ने अपनी शक्ति का इस्तेमाल किया। विश्वामित्र के बेटे, उनके घोड़े, रथ और सैनिक, सब को एक मिनट में राख कर दिया। इतनी जल्दी सब खत्म हो गए जैसे आग में जल गए।
Then one hundred sons of Viswamitra together with their horses, chariots and foot- soldiers were reduced to ashes in a moment by the powerful Vasishta.
