Here malice, having tasted blood, is not satisfied. It is telling that Vishvamitra, seeing one man perish, at once condemns all the sons of Vasishtha to death: hatred is insatiable, and even many victims are not enough for it. Here is shown where unquenched enmity leads — to the destruction of an entire innocent lineage. So the scripture reveals the terrible fruit of malice; and the hundred sons of the sage perish as victims of another's unappeased hatred.
