एवमुक्तो महातेजा विश्वामित्रो महानृषिः। प्रविवेश तदा दीक्षां नियतो नियतेन्द्रियः॥ कुमारावपि तां रात्रिमुषित्वा सुसमाहितौ। प्रभातकाले चोत्थाय पूर्वां संध्यामुपास्य च॥ प्रशुची परमं जाप्यं समाप्य नियमेन च। हुताग्निहोत्रमासीनं विश्वामित्रमवन्दताम्॥

English Meaning
Thus addressed, that mighty saint of exceeding energy, observing vows, and with his senses under restraint, caused himself to be initiated into the ceremony. And like to the Kumāras, (Skanda and Visakha) Rāma and Laksmana, having passed the night pleasantly, rose in the morning, and having finished their morning worship, and with purity and selfrestraint recited the prime mantras, paid their obeisance to the sacrificial fire and the sacrificer, Viśvāmitra, who was seated.
