Vishvamitra said : I am a Kshatriya and your respected self is a Brahmana devoted to study and asceticism. Is there prowess in Brahmanas who are peaceful and have their souls under control?
विश्वामित्र उवाच क्षत्रियोऽहं भवान् विप्रस्तपस्स्वाध्यायसाधनः॥ ब्राह्मणेषु कुतो वीर्यं प्रशान्तेषु धृतात्मसु।
