[a.rā. 1.25]

As in the Anargharāghava, Daśaratha (respectfully): “Reverend Viśvāmitra! / Does any humiliation or danger from wild beasts occur to those dwelling in the forest? / Because of an obstacle to the sacrifices, surely the gods do not go without consuming the oblations? / Or is there an intention in your heart to perform a seven-stringed rite whose sacrificial fee is the earth, / for which you have arrived, or is this such a transformation of the penances of Raghu's line?”
