Shloka 15
अथ वर्षशते पूर्णे धर्म: पुनरुपागमत् । वासिष्ठ॑ वेषमास्थाय कौशिकं भोजनेप्सया,तदनन्तर सौ वर्ष पूर्ण होनेपर पुनः धर्मदेव वसिष्ठ मुनिका वेष धारण करके भोजनकी इच्छासे विश्वामित्र मुनिके पास आये
atha varṣaśate pūrṇe dharmaḥ punar upāgamat | vāsiṣṭhaṃ veṣam āsthāya kauśikaṃ bhojanecchayā ||
満ちて百年が過ぎたとき、法（ダルマ）は再び帰来した。ヴァシシュタ仙の姿をまとい、食を求めてカウシカ（ヴィシュヴァーミトラ）のもとへ近づき、長き苦行の中にあるその不動の堅忍と徳の力を試そうとしたのである。

Educational Q&A
Dharma may test a person’s righteousness through ordinary needs like hunger and through deceptive appearances; ethical steadiness is proven over time, not merely declared.
After a hundred years, Dharma returns and, taking on Vasiṣṭha’s appearance, approaches Viśvāmitra (Kauśika) seeking food—setting up a moral test involving recognition, hospitality, and self-control.
