Hearing Viśvāmitra's words, the pious Maharsis readily spoke in harmony with duty, saying, “This descendant of Kuśika is a highly irascible ascetic, therefore what he said should, without doubt, he performed.'
विश्वामित्रवचः श्रुत्वा सर्व एव महर्षयः॥ ऊचुः समेता सहसा धर्मा धर्मसंहितम्। अयं कुशिकदायादो मुनिः परमकोपनः॥ यदाह वचनं सम्यगेतत् कार्यं न संशयः।
