And they took up their quarters on the banks of the river. And then having bathed and duly offered oblations of water to the gods and the manes of their ancestors, and performed Agnihotra* (Sacrifice with burnt offering.) sacrifices, and partaken of clarified butter like to nectar, those high-souled and auspicious ones, with glad hearts, sat down surrounding Viśvāmitra.
तस्यास्तीरे तदा सर्वे चक्कुर्वासपरिग्रहम्। ततः स्रात्वा यथान्यायं संतl पितृदेवता॥ हुत्वा चैवाग्निहोत्राणि प्राश्य चामृतवद्धविः। विविशुर्जाह्नवीतीरे शुभा मुदितमानसाः॥ विश्वामित्रं महात्मानं परिवार्य समन्ततः।
