O grande sábio Viśvāmitra, refulgente em poder, narrou ao magnânimo Janaka tudo: a permanência em Siddhāśrama, a morte dos rākṣasas, a jornada sem inquietação, a visão de Viśālā, o encontro com Ahalyā e a reunião com Gautama, e também a vinda para conhecer o grande arco. Tendo relatado tudo, calou-se.
