Verse 52.4

प्रतिगृह्य तु तां पूजां वसिष्ठाद् राजसत्तमः। तपोऽग्निहोत्रशिष्येषु कुशलं पर्यपृच्छत ॥ विश्वामित्रो महातेजा वनस्पतिगणे तदा। सर्वत्र कुशलं प्राह वसिठो राजसत्तमम्॥

pratigṛhya tu tāṃ pūjāṃ vasiṣṭhād rājasattamaḥ| tapo'gnihotraśiṣyeṣu kuśalaṃ paryapṛcchata || viśvāmitro mahātejā vanaspatigaṇe tadā| sarvatra kuśalaṃ prāha vasiṭho rājasattamam||

English Meaning

And having accepted Vasiştha's hospitality, that foremost of monarchs, the exceedingly energetic Viśvāmitra then enquired of Vasiştha as to the welfare of his asceticism, his Agnihotras, and his disciples, and his trees. Thereupon Vasiştha of fierce austerities communicated the welfare of all to that best of king, Viśvāmitra, seated at his ease.
