They inflame the fire of hostility and cause great anxiety. Even the auspiciously blessed and well behaved Arundhati, ever renowned among all creatures felt jealousy against the illustrious and pure minded Vasishtha, ever devoted to the greatly good of his wife. She insulted even that Rishi, one of the seven (great Rishis, the mind born sons of Brahma). On account of her that insulting thought, she has become a little star and looks like fire covered with smoke, sometimes visible and sometimes invisible, as if she is an evil omen.
वैराग्निदीपनं चैव भृशमुद्धेगकारि च। सुव्रता चापि कल्याणी सर्वभूतेषु विश्रुता॥ अरुन्धती महात्मानं वसिष्ठं पर्यशरूत। विशुद्धभावमत्यन्तं सदा प्रियहिते रतम्॥ सप्तर्षिमध्यगं धीरमवमेने च तं मुनिम्। अपध्यानेन सा तेन धूमारुणसम्प्रभा। लक्ष्यालक्ष्या नाभिरूपा निमित्तमिव पश्यति॥
