Vasiṣṭha desired: 'May my offspring be foremost and prominent.' He saw this Trivṛt stoma. He brought it forth. He sacrificed with it. The Trivṛt is the top and the head of the stomas. Therefore, his offspring became foremost and prominent. Even nowadays, these Vasiṣṭhas are regarded among the Kurus as foremost and prominent. He who knows thus becomes foremost and prominent. Then Bharadvāja desired: 'May my offspring be strongest and mightiest.' He saw this fifteenfold stoma. He brought it forth. He sacrificed with it. The fifteenfold is the vigor and might of the stomas. Therefore, his offspring became strongest and mightiest. Formerly, the Kurus did not even go by that path by which the Bharadvājas had gone; moreover, they used to proclaim: 'The might of the Bhāradvāja!' Therefore, when authorized, only a Bhāradvāja may strike an offender in the assembly. He who knows thus becomes strongest and mightiest.
