Text 1.24.3
आरोहतु भवान्नावं राजपुत्रपुरस्कृतः।
अरिष्टं गच्छ पन्थानं मा भूत्कालविपर्ययः॥
ārohatu bhavān nāvaṁ rāja-putra-puraskṛtaḥ
ariṣṭaṁ gaccha panthānaṁ mā bhūt kāla-viparyayaḥ
ārohatu bhavān = please step; nāvam = on the boat; rāja-putra-puraskṛtaḥ = honored by the two princes; ariṣṭam gaccha = let there be auspiciousness [1]; panthānam = on your way; mā bhūt kāla-viparyayaḥ= don’t delay.
Please step on the boat, honored by the two princes. Let there be auspiciousness on your way. Don’t delay.
[1] ariṣṭaṁ pāpa-śubhayoḥ. (Halāyudha)
The sages told Viśvāmitra, “Let there be auspiciousness” with the desire that Tāṭakā be killed.
