Canto LXI. Sunahsepha. Then Viśvámitra,when the Blest Had sought their homes of heavenly rest, Thus,mighty Prince,his counsel laid Before the dwellers of the shade: “The southern land where now we are Offers this check our rites to bar: To other regions let us speed, And ply our tasks from trouble freed. Now turn we to the distant west. To Pushkar's241wood where hermits rest, And there to rites austere apply, For not a grove with that can vie.” The saint,in glory's light arrayed, In Pushkar's wood his dwelling made, And living there on roots and fruit Did penance stern and resolute.
