English Meaning
Having proceeded a long way, when the sun was sioping down, the ascetics rested on the banks of the Soņa. And when the maker of day had set, having bathed and offered oblations to the fire those ascetics of immeasurable energy, placing Viśvāmitra in their front, sat them down. And Rāma also together with Sumitrā's son, having paid homage to those ascetics, sat him down before the intelligent Viśvāmitra.
