पूर्व राजर्षिशब्देन तपसा द्योतितप्रभः ।
ब्रह्मर्षित्वमनुप्राप्तः पूज्योऽसि बहुधा मया ॥
ब्रूहि यत्प्रार्थितं तुभ्यं कार्यमागमनं प्रति ॥
You who were a Rajarshi before have
achieved the status of a Brahmarshi,
radiant with the lustre of penance and are
indeed fit to be worshipped by me in
various ways.
Please tell me the object
desired by you in this visit.
तच्छ्रुत्वा राजसिंहस्य वाक्यमद्भुतविस्तरम् ।
हृष्टरोमा महातेजा विश्वामित्रोऽभ्यभाषत ॥
Hearing those wonderful words of the best
of kings, Visvamitra, of great brilliance, spoke
with such joy that his hairs stood on end :
अहं नियममातिष्ठे सिद्धयर्थ पुरुषर्षभ ।
तस्य विघ्नकरौ द्वौ तु राक्षसौ कामरूपिणौ ।
मारीचश्च सुबाहुश्च वीर्यवन्तौ सुशिक्षितौ ॥
"O best of men ! I have to follow certain
prescribed observances for attaining siddhis.
To these, the two Rakshasas Maricha and
Subahu, valorous, well-skilled and capable
of assuming any shape at will, are obstacles.
