Then, with a distressed heart, remembering his own humiliation (nigraha), sighing repeatedly, he had formed an enmity with the great soul.

O Rāghava, that great ascetic (mahātapas) Viśvāmitra, having gone to the southern direction with his queen, undertook an extremely severe ascetic practice (tapas). Eating fruits and roots and being self-controlled, he practiced supreme penance (tapas).
अथास्य जज्ञिरे पुत्राः सत्यधर्मपरायणाः ।
हविष्पन्दो मधुष्पन्दो दृढनेत्रो महारथः ॥३॥

3.
Then, sons devoted to truth (satya) and natural law (dharma) were born to him. Their names were Haviṣpanda, Madhuṣpanda, Dṛḍhanetra, and Mahāratha.
पूर्णे वर्षसहस्रे तु ब्रह्मा लोकपितामहः ।

Indeed, when a full thousand years had passed, Brahmā, the grandfather of the worlds and the supreme lord of the beings, spoke gentle words to Viśvāmitra, whose wealth was his ascetic practice (tapas).
जिता राजर्षिलोकास्ते तपसा कुशिकात्मज ।
अनेन तपसा त्वां हि राजर्षिरिति विद्महे ॥५॥
अनेन तपसा त्वां हि राजर्षिरिति विद्महे ॥५॥
5. jitā rājarṣilokāste tapasā kuśikātmaja ,

5.
kuśikātmaja te tapasā rājarṣilokāḥ jitāḥ
anena tapasā hi tvām rājarṣiḥ iti vidmahe
anena tapasā hi tvām rājarṣiḥ iti vidmahe
5.
O son of Kuśika, you have conquered the worlds of the royal sages through your asceticism (tapas). Indeed, it is by this very asceticism (tapas) that we now recognize you as a royal sage.
एवमुक्त्वा महातेजा जगाम सह दैवतैः ।
त्रिविष्टपं ब्रह्मलोकं लोकानां परमेश्वरः ॥६॥
त्रिविष्टपं ब्रह्मलोकं लोकानां परमेश्वरः ॥६॥
6. evamuktvā mahātejā jagāma saha daivataiḥ ,

6.

6.
mahātejāḥ lokānām parameśvaraḥ evam uktvā
daivataiḥ saha triviṣṭapam brahmalokam jagāma
daivataiḥ saha triviṣṭapam brahmalokam jagāma
6.
Having spoken thus, the greatly effulgent one, the supreme lord of the worlds, went with the deities to Triloka (heaven) and Brahmaloka.
विश्वामित्रो ऽपि तच्छ्रुत्वा ह्रिया किं चिदवाङ्मुखः ।
दुःखेन महताविष्टः समन्युरिदमब्रवीत् ॥७॥
दुःखेन महताविष्टः समन्युरिदमब्रवीत् ॥७॥

mahatā duḥkhena āviṣṭaḥ samanyuḥ idam abravīt
7.
Viśvāmitra also, having heard that, became somewhat downcast due to shame. Overwhelmed by great sorrow and filled with resentment, he spoke these words.
तपश्च सुमहत्तप्तं राजर्षिरिति मां विदुः ।
देवाः सर्षिगणाः सर्वे नास्ति मन्ये तपःफलम् ॥८॥
देवाः सर्षिगणाः सर्वे नास्ति मन्ये तपःफलम् ॥८॥
8. tapaśca sumahattaptaṃ rājarṣiriti māṃ viduḥ ,

mām rājarṣiḥ iti viduḥ tapasphalam na asti manye
mām rājarṣiḥ iti viduḥ tapasphalam na asti manye
8.
Although I have performed very great austerities (tapas), and all the gods, along with groups of sages, know me as a royal sage, I believe there is no true fruit (phalam) to these ascetic practices (tapas).
एवं निश्चित्य मनसा भूय एव महातपाः ।
तपश्चचार काकुत्स्थ परमं परमात्मवान् ॥९॥
तपश्चचार काकुत्स्थ परमं परमात्मवान् ॥९॥
9. evaṃ niścitya manasā bhūya eva mahātapāḥ ,

9.
kākutstha evam manasā niścitya bhūyaḥ eva
mahātapāḥ paramātmavān paramam tapaḥ cacāra
mahātapāḥ paramātmavān paramam tapaḥ cacāra
9.
O Kakutstha (Rāma), having thus resolved in his mind, that great ascetic, being supremely self-controlled, again performed the highest form of austerity (tapas).
एतस्मिन्नेव काले तु सत्यवादी जितेन्द्रियः ।
त्रिशङ्कुरिति विख्यात इक्ष्वाकु कुलनन्दनः ॥१०॥
त्रिशङ्कुरिति विख्यात इक्ष्वाकु कुलनन्दनः ॥१०॥
10. etasminneva kāle tu satyavādī jitendriyaḥ ,

triśaṅkuriti vikhyāta ikṣvāku kulanandanaḥ.
10.
etasmin eva kāle tu satyavādī jitendriyaḥ

triśaṅkuḥ iti vikhyātaḥ ikṣvāku kulanandanaḥ
10.
tu etasmin eva kāle ikṣvāku kulanandanaḥ
satyavādī jitendriyaḥ triśaṅkuḥ iti vikhyātaḥ
satyavādī jitendriyaḥ triśaṅkuḥ iti vikhyātaḥ
10.
Indeed, at this very time, there lived a renowned man from the Ikṣvāku lineage, Triśaṅku by name, who was truthful and had conquered his senses.
तस्य बुद्धिः समुत्पन्ना यजेयमिति राघव ।
गच्छेयं स्वशरीरेण देवानां परमां गतिम् ॥११॥
गच्छेयं स्वशरीरेण देवानां परमां गतिम् ॥११॥
11. tasya buddhiḥ samutpannā yajeyamiti rāghava ,
gaccheyaṃ svaśarīreṇa devānāṃ paramāṃ gatim.
gaccheyaṃ svaśarīreṇa devānāṃ paramāṃ gatim.
11.
tasya buddhiḥ samutpannā yajeyam iti rāghava
gaccheyam svaśarīreṇa devānām paramām gatim
gaccheyam svaśarīreṇa devānām paramām gatim
11.
rāghava tasya buddhiḥ samutpannā yajeyam iti
svaśarīreṇa devānām paramām gatim gaccheyam
svaśarīreṇa devānām paramām gatim gaccheyam
11.
O Rāghava, this thought arose in his mind: 'I should perform a great Vedic ritual (yajña) so that I may attain the supreme state of the gods with my own physical body.'
स वसिष्ठं समाहूय कथयामास चिन्तितम् ।
अशक्यमिति चाप्युक्तो वसिष्ठेन महात्मना ॥१२॥
अशक्यमिति चाप्युक्तो वसिष्ठेन महात्मना ॥१२॥
12. sa vasiṣṭhaṃ samāhūya kathayāmāsa cintitam ,
aśakyamiti cāpyukto vasiṣṭhena mahātmanā.
aśakyamiti cāpyukto vasiṣṭhena mahātmanā.
12.
sa vasiṣṭham samāhūya kathayāmāsa cintitam
aśakyam iti ca api uktaḥ vasiṣṭhena mahātmanā
aśakyam iti ca api uktaḥ vasiṣṭhena mahātmanā
12.
sa vasiṣṭham samāhūya cintitam kathayāmāsa ca
api mahātmanā vasiṣṭhena iti aśakyam uktaḥ
api mahātmanā vasiṣṭhena iti aśakyam uktaḥ
12.
He summoned Vasiṣṭha and told him what he had planned (or his concern). And he was even told by the great-souled (mahātman) Vasiṣṭha that "this is impossible."
प्रत्याख्यातो वसिष्ठेन स ययौ दक्षिणां दिशम् ।
वसिष्ठा दीर्घ तपसस्तपो यत्र हि तेपिरे ॥१३॥
वसिष्ठा दीर्घ तपसस्तपो यत्र हि तेपिरे ॥१३॥
13. pratyākhyāto vasiṣṭhena sa yayau dakṣiṇāṃ diśam ,

vasiṣṭhā dīrgha tapasastapo yatra hi tepire.
13.

yatra hi vasiṣṭhāḥ dīrgha tapasaḥ tapaḥ tepire
yatra hi vasiṣṭhāḥ dīrgha tapasaḥ tapaḥ tepire
13.
Rejected by Vasiṣṭha, he went to the southern region, where the Vasiṣṭhas (Vasiṣṭha's sons or lineage) had indeed performed extensive asceticism (tapas).
त्रिशङ्कुः सुमहातेजाः शतं परमभास्वरम् ।
वसिष्ठपुत्रान्ददृशे तप्यमानान्यशस्विनः ॥१४॥
वसिष्ठपुत्रान्ददृशे तप्यमानान्यशस्विनः ॥१४॥
14. triśaṅkuḥ sumahātejāḥ śataṃ paramabhāsvaram ,

vasiṣṭhaputrāndadṛśe tapyamānānyaśasvinaḥ.
14.

yaśasvinaḥ tapyamānān vasiṣṭhaputrān dadṛśe
yaśasvinaḥ tapyamānān vasiṣṭhaputrān dadṛśe
14.
Triśaṅku, who was exceedingly radiant, saw a hundred of Vasiṣṭha's sons, who were supremely effulgent, renowned, and engaged in severe asceticism (tapas).
सो ऽभिगम्य महात्मानः सर्वानेव गुरोः सुतान् ।

15.
He (Triśaṅku), that exceedingly radiant one, having approached all those great-souled (mahātman) sons of his teacher (guru) (Vasiṣṭha), and having saluted them in sequence, with some shame and a downcast face, spoke to them all with folded hands.
शरणं वः प्रपद्ये ऽहं शरण्याञ् शरणागतः ।
प्रत्याख्यातो ऽस्मि भद्रं वो वसिष्ठेन महात्मना ॥१६॥
प्रत्याख्यातो ऽस्मि भद्रं वो वसिष्ठेन महात्मना ॥१६॥

vasiṣṭhena mahātmanā pratyākhyātaḥ asmi vaḥ bhadram
vasiṣṭhena mahātmanā pratyākhyātaḥ asmi vaḥ bhadram
16.
I, having come for refuge, approach you who are worthy of providing refuge. I have been rejected by the great-souled Vasiṣṭha; may good fortune be upon you.
यष्टुकामो महायज्ञं तदनुज्ञातुमर्थथ ।
गुरुपुत्रानहं सर्वान्नमस्कृत्य प्रसादये ॥१७॥

17.
I, desiring to perform a great Vedic ritual (yajña), request permission for it. Having bowed to all the sons of the guru (guru), I implore their favor.
शिरसा प्रणतो याचे ब्राह्मणांस्तपसि स्थितान् ।
ते मां भवन्तः सिद्ध्यर्थं याजयन्तु समाहिताः ।
सशरीरो यथाहं हि देवलोकमवाप्नुयाम् ॥१८॥

brāhmaṇān yāce samāhitāḥ te bhavantaḥ
mām siddhyartham yājayantu yathā
aham hi saśarīraḥ devalokam avāpnuyām
18.
With my head bowed, I entreat the Brahmins who are established in austerity (tapas). May you, being concentrated, cause me to perform the sacrifice for the sake of accomplishment, so that I may indeed attain the world of the gods (devaloka) with my body.
प्रत्याख्यातो वसिष्ठेन गतिमन्यां तपोधनाः ।

19.

vasiṣṭhena pratyākhyātaḥ (aham),
aham sarvān gurūputrān ṛte anyām kām cana gatim na paśyāmi
19.
O venerable ascetics (tapasvinaḥ), having been rejected by Vasiṣṭha, I see no other recourse, except for all the sons of the guru (guru).
इक्ष्वाकूणां हि सर्वेषां पुरोधाः परमा गतिः ।
तस्मादनन्तरं सर्वे भवन्तो दैवतं मम ॥२०॥
तस्मादनन्तरं सर्वे भवन्तो दैवतं मम ॥२०॥
20. ikṣvākūṇāṃ hi sarveṣāṃ purodhāḥ paramā gatiḥ ,
tasmādanantaraṃ sarve bhavanto daivataṃ mama.
tasmādanantaraṃ sarve bhavanto daivataṃ mama.
20.
ikṣvākūṇām hi sarveṣām purodhāḥ paramā gatiḥ
tasmāt anantaram sarve bhavantaḥ daivatam mama
tasmāt anantaram sarve bhavantaḥ daivatam mama
20.
hi sarveṣām ikṣvākūṇām purodhāḥ paramā gatiḥ
tasmāt anantaram sarve bhavantaḥ mama daivatam
tasmāt anantaram sarve bhavantaḥ mama daivatam
20.
Indeed, for all members of the Ikṣvāku dynasty, the family priest is the ultimate refuge (गति). Therefore, after him, all of you venerable ones are my deities.
