श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
इति ब्रह्मणि विश्रान्तिमवाप्य स शिखिध्वजः ।
मुहूर्तमासीत्संशान्तमना निर्वातदीपवत् ॥ १ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
iti brahmaṇi viśrāntimavāpya sa śikhidhvajaḥ |
muhūrtamāsītsaṃśāntamanā nirvātadīpavat || 1 ||

Vasishtha said:—Sikhidvaja having thus found his rest in the spirit of Brahma, remained quiet for some moments, as the steady and unflagging flame of a lamp in a calm.
