"By those hosts of various Mleccha peoples that she had brought forth, clad in various armor, bearing various weapons, raging, the great army was overwhelmed -- before the eyes of Vishvamitra. And each of his warriors, surrounded by five or seven of them, driven under a great rain of weapons, and the army broke apart everywhere, seized with terror, before the eyes of Vishvamitra."

Here the king's army is put to flight before the offspring of brahminical power. Telling is it that the rout unfolds "before the eyes of Vishvamitra" -- the proud man sees the collapse of his own strength with his own eyes: the humbling of the arrogant is made plain. Here it is seen how the seeming superiority of weapons crumbles before spiritual power. Thus scripture shows the vanity of kshatriya pride; and Vishvamitra, who scorned a brahmin's patience, beholds with his own eyes what the strength he once revered is truly worth.
