तानि चास्त्राणि वेत्त्येष यथावत् कुशिकात्मजः | अपूर्वाणां च जनने शक्तो भूयः स धर्मवित् || १-२१-१८
- Kaushika's son (sage Vishvamitra) is well conversant with these weapons, and this principled one is also capable of creating hitherto unavailable missiles. - [1-21-18]
तेनास्य मुनिमुख्यस्य धर्मज्ञस्य महात्मनः | न किंचिदस्त्यविदितं भूतं भव्यं च राघव || १-२१-१९
- Thereby, Oh Raghava ! nothing whatsoever is unknown to the great-souled Vishvamitra, who is a distinguished sage and the knower of virtue, either that has happened or that is happening. - [1-21-19]
- Thus, the highly renowned and great resplendent sage Vishvamitra has this sort of enterprise. Oh king ! allowing a doubt to enter your mind in Rama's accompanying the sage will be unapt of you. - [1-21-20]
