Chapter [Sarga] 65
Book I : Bala Kanda - The Youthful Majesties
Vishvamitra becomes Brahma-sage after a prolonged ascesis that made all the worlds to startle. All gods request Brahma to accord the supreme Brahma-sageship on Vishvamitra as he is cleansed of all mortal impurities, and Brahma accords that highest order on him. Thus Sage Shataananda concludes his narration about the legend of Vishvamitra.
atha haimavatiim raama disham tyaktvaa mahaamuniH |
1. raama= oh, Rama; atha mahaa muniH= then, great-saint; haimavatiim disham= snowbound, direction - Himalayan area, northern side; tyaktvaa= leaving off; puurvaam disham anupraapya= eastern, direction, on arriving; sudaaruNam tapaH tepe= highly rigorous, ascesis, undertook.
"That great-saint Vishvamitra then leaving off the snowbound Himalayas on north, oh, Rama, he reached eastern quarter and undertook rigorous ascesis." Thus Sage Shataananda continued the legend of Vishvamitra. [1-65-1]
maunam varSa sahasrasya kR^itvaa vratam anuttamam |
2. raama= Rama; varSa sahasrasya= of years, thousand; an+ uttamam= un, excelled; maunam= muteness; vratam= vow; kR^itvaa= on making [committing himself]; a + pratimam= un, matched; parama duSkaram= highly, impracticable; tapaH cakaara= ascesis, he performed.
"Committing himself to a vow of muteness, oh, Rama, he performed an unexcelled and unmatched ascesis which is highly impracticable for others to perform. [1-65-2]
puurNe varSa sahasre tu kaaSTha bhuutam mahaamunim |
3, 4a. raama= Rama; varSa sahasre puurNe tu= years, thousand, on completing, even; kaaSTha bhuutam mahaa munim= woodenly, on becoming, great-saint; bahubhiH vighnaiH aadhuutam= many, by barriers, blasted [at full blast]; krodhaH [hR^idaya] antaram= fury, in inside [heart of hearts,]; na aavishat= not, entered; saH nishcayam kR^itvaa= he, firm determination, on making; a+vyayam tapa aatiSTat= not, mitigated, ascesis, stood fast.
"Even on completing a thousand years, even when that great-saint became woodenly, even many barriers are at full blast, oh, Rama, fury has not entered his heart of hearts, for he stood fast in an unmitigated ascesis on making a firm determination. [1-65-3, 4a]

4b, 5. raghuuttama= oh, Ragu-dynasty's best, Rama; tasya varSa sahasrasya= those, years, thousand of; vrate puurNe= ascesis, while being completed; mahaavrataH= one with a rigour-pledge; annam bhoktum aarabdhavaan= meal, to eat, started to; tasmin kale= at that, time; indraH dvijaatiH bhuutvaa= Indra, Brahman, on becoming; tam siddha annam ayaacat= him [Vishvamitra's,] readily available, meal, requested.
"On one day when those thousand years of ascesis with the rigorous pledge of Vishvamitra are being completed, and when he started to eat his meal, oh, Rama, best of Raghu's dynasty, Indra arrived there disguising himself as a Brahman and requested for the readily available meal. [1-65-4b, 5]
This meal is prepared by Vishvamitra alone after a thousand years and such self-cooking of food by the ascetics is called, vaishva devam, since it is a sacred preparation anena vaiþvadeva ante sam˜gato atithi× svayam upoÿy˜ api svŸya anna prad˜nena sambhojya iti s¨citam - dk

"Then that godly Vishvamitra willingly gave away all the readied meal to that Brahman, and as no meal is leftover by Brahman-Indra, that great-ascetic Vishvamitra starved himself. Vishvamitra did not speak a little to the Brahman in dissent as he is abided by his pledge of muteness, and he again remained in muteness and breath-control. Like that, he indeed carried on his ascesis. [1-65-6, 7]

"That eminent saint remained without respiration for another thousand years, and then fumes have started to emit from the head of sage who is controlling his breath, by which fumes the triad of worlds looked as if it is searing, and this startled all the worlds. [1-65-8, 9a]

"Then the gods, sages, gandharva-s, serpents, reptiles, demons are puzzled at the ascesis of Vishvamitra, and as their own resplendence is dulled by the ascesis of Vishvamitra, thereby they are marred by this blemish of lowered resplendence, then all of them addressed the Grandparent, Brahma. [1-65-9b, 10]
