(iv) Fourth confrontation. Vasiṣṭha did not like the deception practised by Viśvāmitra, on Hariścandra. Once Viśvāmitra and Vasiṣṭha met in the forest by chance. Vasiṣṭha scolded Viśvāmitra, who had only the guise of a hermit, thus: "You wicked Viśvāmitra! Why do you put the truthful Hariścandra into so much misery? You are deceiving him as the stork sits in meditation and deceives the fish. So you will become a stork."
