Thatha Asya Shabalam Rama  Vishwamithro Anvakarshatha ||
Niyamana  Thu Shabala  Rama Rajjjya Mahathmana |

Nirdhoorya Thama Thadha Bhruthyan Shathasha:Shathrusoodhana |
Jagama Anila Vegena Padha Moolam Mahathmana: ||
 
Sage Shathanandha continues “ Oh! Rama,  Sage Vashishta did not heed to the desire of King Vishwamithra, at that moment the King utilized his force to seize the divine cow Kamadhenu/Shabala.  King Vishwamithra succeeded in his effort; Shabala was inconsolable at the separation from the virtuous sage Vashishta.  She was completely distressed, without knowing the reason for being forcefully carried away from the hermitage of Sage Vashishta.  She was tormented with various thoughts in her mind that she was always been devoted to Sage Vashishta, whether she had committed any mistake to abandon the hermitage of Sage Vashishta.  Oh! Shathrusoodhana, in this way Shabala was besieged with various thoughts, suddenly she shoved the attendants who had held the strings tightened on her neck, and rushed to Sage Vashishta and offered humble obeisance at the feet of Sage.  Shabala was in absolute pain and agony uttered “ Oh! Brahmanasutha,  Why I have to discard your hermitage ? Why these attendants of King are forcefully taking me away from here?”  Sage Vashishta who was already grief-stricken, was answered “ Oh! Shabala, I did not abandon you or you did not make any mistake,  it was the King Vishwamithra who is powerful, forcibly taking you away from me.  Further, I have no equal might to a King, he is powerful and a King is the Lord of land and Kshathriya as well.  His Akshouhini Sena/Army of men has numerous horses, elephants and chariots as their force, I am powerless.” Sage Vashishta pacified Shabala.  After listening to the resplendent Brahmarishi Vashishta “ Oh! Brahman, a Sage is mightier than a Kshathriya, a Brahmin has the power of the divine Brahmam and he is considered as the mightiest.  You have the incomparable might than King Vishwamithra, Oh! Illustrious Sage, command me, with all the powers of your sagacity to disapprove the arrogance and atrocities of the King Vishwamithra for the unfairness against me.” Oh! Rama, the divine cow Shabala earnestly prayed to Sage Vashishta who ordered the divine cow to create a force than can surpass the opponent.  At the command of Sage Vashishta, the divine cow Surabhi produced a boisterous ‘Hum’ sound, instantly there appeared hundreds of Pahalva Kings who encountered the army of King Vishwamithra and shattered the men’s of the Kings effortlessly. The most infuriated King Vishwamithra entered in a vicious battle with the Pahalva Kings, witnessing the destruction of Pahalva Kings, Kamadhenu created various dreadful Shakan Yavanas from her boisterous ‘Hum’.  The Earth was filled with mightiest Shakan and Yavanas, who was well capable to conquer their opponent, well equipped with powerful weapons, attired in golden color garments and has charismatic looks that has the resemblance of blazing fire.  Shortly, they vanquished the entire army of King Vishwamithra.   The battle between the King Vishwamithra and forces of Kamadhenu continued, King released various powerful weapons against Yavanas, Kamboja and Barbara, which made them in a state of haphazard”.
