On seeing the best sage among best meditators, Sage Vashishta, the great-mighty and valorous Vishvamitra was highly rejoiced and obediently made an obeisance to the sage. [1-52-1]
On receiving that deference from Vashishta, then that unsurpassed king Vishvamitra asked after the well-being of the ascesis, Fire-rituals and disciples and their progress in that hermitage. [1-52-4]
विश्वामित्रो महातेजा वनस्पतिगणे तथा | सर्वत्र कुशलं चाह वसिष्ठो राजसत्तमः || १-५२-५
The great-resplendent Vishvamitra had also asked after the well being of flora and fauna of the hermitage and Vashishta reported to the matchless king about the all round well-being of every activity. [1-52-5]
