अनुवाद
"Then — because of a dispute over the priesthood, there was enmity between Vishvamitra and Vasishtha; and just then Vishvamitra arrived at the place. While the two of them [the king and Shakti] were thus quarreling, there approached the rishi of fierce austerity, O Partha, the valiant Vishvamitra."

Here an old enmity lies in wait for its chance. It is significant that Vishvamitra "arrived" just at the quarrel: a long-standing foe senses an opportunity to harm his rival and hastens to seize it. Here we see how an unextinguished enmity turns another's misfortune into its own instrument: where there is discord, an ill-wisher finds an opening. Thus the scripture reveals the cunning of a hidden hatred; and Vishvamitra's arrival will turn a private quarrel into the ruin of an entire line.
