तथेति च स राजानमुक्त्वा वेदविदां वरः। स्वयं वसिष्ठो भगवान् ययौ रामनिवेशनम्॥ उपवासयितुं वीरं मन्त्रविन्मन्त्रकोविदम्। ब्राझै रथवरं युक्तमास्थाय सुधृतव्रतः॥

English Meaning
Thereupon, saying, “So be it," that best of those versed in the Veda, the worshipful Vasiştha conversant with mantras, that one practising excellent vows, mounting a Brahma car, himself went to the residence of Rāma cognizant of mantra, for the purpose of making him fast.
