And saw their misery, at the view

Their grief burst wilder out anew.

Faint with lamenting, sad and worn,

Each like a bull with broken horn,

The brothers in their wild despair

Lay rolling, mad with misery, there.

Then old Vaśishṭha good and true,

Their father's priest, all lore who knew,

Raised weeping Bharat on his feet,

And thus bespake with counsel meet:
