अधर्मशङ्कुना तेन तं स त्रय्यारुणो ऽत्यजत् अपध्वंसेति बहुशो वदन् क्रोधसमन्वितः
Because of this sinful act, the priest of the three Vedas abandoned him, repeatedly declaring in anger, 'Let him be cast out!'

'I no longer desire a son through you, O defiler of the lineage,' he said; and so, by his father's command, he departed from the city.
न च तं वारयाम् आस वसिष्ठो भगवान् ऋषिः स तु सत्यव्रतो विप्राः श्वपाकावसथान्तिके
The venerable sage Vasiṣṭha did not restrain him; and so Satyavrata, O brāhmaṇas, dwelt near the settlement of the outcastes.

Abandoned by his father, the hero lived there, and his father also went to the forest. Then, in that land, Indra withheld the rain.
समा द्वादश भो विप्रास् तेनाधर्मेण वै तदा दारांस् तु तस्य विषये विश्वामित्रो महातपाः
For twelve years, O brāhmaṇas, because of that sin, there was famine. In that land, Viśvāmitra, the great ascetic, with his family—
संन्यस्य सागरान्ते तु चकार विपुलं तपः तस्य पत्नी गले बद्ध्वा मध्यमं पुत्रम् औरसम्
Having renounced everything at the ocean's edge, he performed great austerity. His wife, binding their middle son by the neck—her own child—
शेषस्य भरणार्थाय व्यक्रीणाद् गोशतेन वै तं च बद्धं गले दृष्ट्वा विक्रयार्थं नृपात्मजः
In order to provide for the rest, she sold him for a hundred cows. Seeing him bound by the neck, to be sold, the prince—
महर्षिपुत्रं धर्मात्मा मोक्षयाम् आस भो द्विजाः सत्यव्रतो महाबाहुर् भरणं तस्य चाकरोत्
The righteous Satyavrata, mighty-armed, freed the sage's son, O brāhmaṇas, and took upon himself his support.

For the satisfaction and compassion of Viśvāmitra, that great ascetic became known as Gālava, because of the bondage at the neck. The wise sage Kauśika was freed by that hero.
सत्यव्रतस् तु भक्त्या च कृपया च प्रतिज्ञया विश्वामित्रकलत्रं तु बभार विनये स्थितः
Satyavrata, through devotion, compassion, and his vow, supported Viśvāmitra's family, remaining steadfast in discipline.
