បន្ទាប់មក ដោយឃើញអ្នកទាំងពីរត្រូវគេគប់ដោយភ្លៀងថ្មពីគ្រប់ទិសទី បុត្ររបស់កាធិ (វិśvāmitra) ដ៏រុងរឿង បានមានបន្ទូលពាក្យទាំងនេះ។
On seeing them hit and thrown about by a rain of stones from all sides, the auspicious son of Gadhi, (Viswamitra) spoke these words:

Viśvāmitra’s vigilance and responsibility as guide—protecting the mission and directing action.
