सर्गः ५५
In which Vasiṣṭha swallows Viśvāmitra's blazing arsenal and Brahmāstra with one Brahmadaṇḍa, driving humbled Viśvāmitra to seek brāhmaṇhood through tapas
Viśvāmitra hurls Āgnēya weapon and cries stand — Vasiṣṭha stands firm and mocks Kṣatriya strength — Vasiṣṭha quenches the fire weapon with Brahmadaṇḍa — Viśvāmitra hurls scores of divine weapons — Vasiṣṭha swallows every weapon with his staff — Viśvāmitra looses Brahmāstra and terrifies three worlds — Vasiṣṭha swallows Brahmāstra and blazes with fire from every pore — Sages praise Vasiṣṭha and he calms his wrath — Humbled Viśvāmitra scorns Kṣatriya might and vows tapas for brāhmaṇhood
