Translation

Vaiśaṃpāyana said: “O King, you are learned, self-restrained, steadfast in truth, and master of your senses. Men of such a kind do not lose their clarity in any calamity. Having reached Niṣadha by Indra’s guidance, you then stayed concealed in the hermitage at Giriprastha and carried out the deed—bringing the hostile to submission.”
