26 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे बालकाण्डे एकषष्ठितमः सर्गः ॥१-६१॥ विश्वामित्रो महातेजाः प्रस्थितान् वीक्ष्य तानृषीन्। अब्रवीन्नरशार्दूल सर्वांस्तान् वनवासिनः ॥१॥
In the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Bāla-kāṇḍa, this is the sixty-first canto. Seeing those sages who had set forth, the greatly radiant Viśvāmitra said to all those forest-dwelling sages, O tiger among men:
महाविघ्नः प्रवृत्तोऽयं दक्षिणामास्थितो दिशम्। दिशमन्यां प्रपत्स्यामस्तत्र तप्स्यामहे तपः ॥२॥
A great obstacle has arisen: it has taken the southern direction. We shall go to another direction; there we shall perform austerity.
पश्चिमायां विशालायां पुष्करेषु महात्मनः। सुखं तपश्चरिष्यामः सुखं तद्धि तपोवनम् ॥३॥
In the broad western direction, at Pushkara(s), the transmitted form महात्मनः literally means “of the great-souled one,” though its syntactic connection here is uncertain. On the contextual reading that it addresses or describes the great-souled ascetics, we shall perform austerity happily; for that indeed is a pleasant hermitage.
एवमुक्त्वा महातेजाः पुष्करेषु महामुनिः। तप उग्रं दुराधर्षं तेपे मूलफलाशनः ॥४॥
Having said this, the greatly radiant great sage practised fierce, irresistible austerity at Puṣkara, living on roots and fruits.
एतस्मिन्नेव काले तु अयोध्याधिपतिर्महान्। अम्बरीष इति ख्यातो यष्टुं समुपचक्रमे ॥५॥
At that very time, however, the great lord of Ayodhya, renowned as Ambarīṣa, began to perform a sacrifice.
