The grandson of Vishvamitra and son of Raivya, possessed of great ascetic merit, named Paravasu, O king, began to accuse Rama publicly, saying,-O Rama, were not those pious men, viz., Pratardana and others, who were assembled at a sacrifice at the time of Yayati's death, Kshatriyas by birth?
विश्वामित्रस्य पौत्रस्तु रैभ्यपुत्रो महातपाः।। परावसुर्महाराज क्षिप्त्वाऽऽह जनसंसदि। ये ते ययातिपतने यज्ञे सन्तः समागताः॥ प्रतर्दनप्रभृतयो राम किं क्षत्रिया न ते।
