v2.c19.16
In the Purāṇas the story of King Hariścandra, son of Triśaṅku, who was persecuted by the sage, is narrated. Vasiṣṭha cursed Viśvāmitra to become a crane, who also cursed the former to be another bird, and as birds they fought but were reconciled by Brahmā. In the Rāmāyaṇa, Visvāmitra is said to have taken Rāma and Lakṣaṇa with him to free the hermitages of Brāhmaṇas from the Rākṣasas; and it was through him that the four sons of King Daśaratha were married to the daughters of King Janaka.
