Vasishtha said I am gifted with Yoga powers, I live again, as a householder, and am considered as the foremost of all persons that lead such a mode of life. On account of my being gifted with (such) powers, of my having as a householder, and of my being considered, as the foremost of all householders, I am called Vasishtha.
