Markandeya Purana 7.14

7.14

viśvāmitrastataḥ kruddhaḥ śrutvā tannṛpatervacaḥ /
kruddhe carṣivare tasmin neśurvidyāḥ kṣaṇena tāḥ //

Thereupon Viśvāmitra having heard the king’s speech was enraged: and, when that great Ṛṣi was enraged, those sciences perished in a moment. The king moreover, seeing Viśvāmitra, rich in austerities, being terrified, suddenly trembled exceedingly like the leaf of the peepul tree.[2] When the Muni exclaimed, “wretch!” and “stand!”; then the king falling prostrate in reverence addressed him:—“O adorable lord! this is my duty! I have committed no fault! Deign not O Muni! to be angry with me, who am engaged in my duty. A king, conversant with his duties, must give gifts, and must afford protection, and lifting his bow must wage war, according to the Dharma-śāstras.”
