paṃca śatāni himavantapārśve mūlaphalāhārā ṛṣayaḥ paśyensuḥ |
uṃcharatā tāpasā śuddhalūkhā susaṃyatā ugratapā udārā || 1 ||

On the slopes of the Himalayas there were five hundred seers who lived on roots and fruits, were content with what they could glean, were ascetic, pure though poor, well-controlled, sternly austere, and sublime. (1)
