Hearing those words of the high-souled Rāghava, Kausika crossed over the crowds of ascetics; and on reaching the north bank, he paid homage to the saints. And when they had landed on the banks of the Gangā, they beheld a city named Viśālā.
तस्य तद् वचनं श्रुत्वा राघवस्य महात्मनः। संतारं कारयामास सर्षिसङ्घस्य कौशिकः॥ उत्तरं तीरमासाद्य सम्पूज्यर्षिगणं ततः। गङ्गाकूले निविष्टास्ते विशालां ददृशुः पुरीम्॥
