RAMAYANA
Failing in his efforts to tempt or persuade the sage to part with the cow, Viswamitra became angry and ordered his men to seize the cow by force.
Sabala could not understand why she was being roughly handled and she was unwilling to go away from the sage and his aashrama. Shedding tears, she wondered how she had offended
Vasishtha that he should stand by and look on while she was being dragged away. The cow easily put to flight the solders and sought refuge at the feet of the sage.
Moved by the piteous appeal of his beloved cow, who was like a younger sister to him, the sage said:"Bring forth soldiers to resist Viswaamitras's men."
Sabala instantaneously did so, and the aggressors were soon worsted. Wild with rage, Viswaamitra got into his chariot and, taking up his bow, rained arrows on the soldiers brought forth by the cow, but their strength was inexhaustible, and the royal forces suffered utter defeat.The sons of Viswaamitra now chose Vasishtha himself as their target, only to be reduced to ashes.
Defeated and disgraced ,Viswaamitra then and there entrusted his kingdom to one of his sons and proceeded to the Himalayas to perform tapas, directing his devotions to Lord Siva to gain power with which to subdue Vasishtha.
So firm and steadfast was Viswaamitra in his austerities that Lord Siva was pleased and appeared before him. He asked the king what his object was in performing tapas.
Viswaamitra replied: "If you, Umaapati, are satisfied with my tapas let me be blessed with divine arrows and be master of every weapon."

My hole body is trembling, my hair is standing on end, my bow Gandiva is slipping from my hand, and my skin is burning.

I am unable to stand here any longer. I am forgetting myself, and my mind is reeling. I see only causes of misfortune, O Krishna killer of the Kesi demon.

అమ్మా! భారతీదేవీ! వికాశప్రకాశాలకు ప్రతీకగా విచ్చుతూ విచ్చుతూ ఉన్న కమలాన్ని కరకమలంలో ధరించిన దానవై, శరచ్చంద్ర చంద్రికానురూపమైన స్వరూపంతో, అలంకరించుకొన్న ఆభరణాల మణిదీప్తులు దిగ్ దిగంతాలను వెలిగింపగా, పవిత్ర వేద సూక్తులు నీ ప్రభావాన్ని వెల్లడింపగా, భక్త కవుల భావాంబర వీథులలో స్వేచ్ఛగా విహరించే బంగారు తల్లీ1 నీ కృపారసపు జల్లులు నా మీద చల్లి నన్ను కృతార్థుణ్ణి కావించు.
