pakṣiṇa ūcuḥ
rājyacyute hariścandre gate ca tridaśālayam /
niścakrāma mahātejā jalavāsāt purohitaḥ //

The birds spoke:
When Hariścandra had left his kingdom and had gone to the abode of the thirty gods, there came out from his residence in the water the glorious family priest, Vaśiṣṭha, the Muni, who dwelt at the Ganges, at the end of twelve years; and he heard the whole of the deeds of Viśvāmitra, and also the downfall of the noble-dealing king Hariścandra, and his association with the caṇḍāla, and his sale of his wife and son. That most illustrious Muni having heard the story, being full of affection for the king, grew wrathful in his dignity against the Ṛṣi Viśvāmitra.
