Śaraṇāgata-Atithi-Dharma in the Kapota Narrative (कपोत-आख्यानम्—शरणागतधर्मः)
एतां बुद्धि समास्थाय विश्वामित्रो महामुनि: । तस्मिन् देशे स सुष्वाप श्वपचो यत्र भारत,भरतनन्दन! ऐसा निश्चय करके महामुनि विश्वामित्र उसी स्थानपर सो गये, जहाँ चाण्डाल रहा करते थे
etāṃ buddhiṃ samāsthāya viśvāmitro mahāmuniḥ | tasmin deśe sa suṣvāpa śvapaco yatra bhārata ||
毗湿摩说：“大圣仙毗湿瓦密多既立此念，便在那地方安卧入睡，噢婆罗多啊——正是那食犬者（śvapaca，贱民）居住之处。”

Educational Q&A
True dharma and spiritual strength are shown by unwavering resolve (buddhi) and the willingness to endure discomfort and social contempt without losing self-control; external status is secondary to inner discipline.
Bhishma narrates that Vishvamitra, after making a firm decision, deliberately sleeps in the very locality associated with an outcaste (śvapaca), indicating a chosen trial meant to test or strengthen his austerity and steadiness.
