devāpiśca kathaṃ brahmanviśvāmitraśca sattama |
tanmamācakṣva bhagavanparaṃ kautūhalaṃ hi me || 2 ||
Janamejaya said, "Why did the adorable Arshtishena undergo the austerest of penances? How also did Sindhudwipa acquire the status of a Brahmana? How also did Devapi, O Brahmana, and how Vishvamitra, O best of men, acquire the same status? Tell me all this, O adorable one! Great is my curiosity to listen to all these."
