Vāsishṭha^1 (Vāśº,  C.,  “the son of Vasishṭha”) = Śakt(r)i: I,  6699 (ṛshisattamaṃ),  6707,  6892 (Śº)
 V,  3970 (reme… yathā…Adṛśyantyāñ ca Vºḥ).

Vāsishṭha^2,  name of a tīrtha. § 370 (Tīrthayātrāp.): III,  84,  8026 (Vāśº,  C.). Cf. Vāsishṭhī.

Vāsishṭha^3,  name of a fire(?). § 491 (Āṅgirasa): III,  220,  14156 (Vāśº,  C.).

Vāsishṭha^4 (Vāśº,  C.),  pl. (ºāḥ) (“the descendants of Vasishṭha”). § 324 (Dvaitavanapr.): III,  26,  970.--§ 393 (Tīrthayātrāp.): III,  115,  10126.

Vāsishṭha (Vāśº,  C.),  adj. (“belonging or relating to Vasishṭha”). § 11 (Parvasaṅgr.): I,  2,  387 (ākhyānaṃ).-§ 223 (Vasishṭha): I,  175,  6650 (do.),  6689 (sainikāḥ).-§ 565 (Gālavacarita): V,  106,  3728 (veshaṃ)
 109,  3794 (kāshṭhāṃ,  i.e. the north,  Nīl. and PCR.).

Vāsishṭha(ṃ) (“the episode relating to Vasishṭha”). § 11 (Parvas.): I,  2,  387 (ºam ākhyanaṃ).--§ 223 (Caitrar.). Arjuna wished to hear about Vasishṭha. The Gandharva said: Vasishṭha is Brahmán's spiritual son and Arundhatī's husband
 Kāma and Krodha,  who cannot be vanquished even by the immortals,  used to shampoo his feet. Though his wrath was excited by Viśvāmitra's offence,  he did not yet exterminate the Kuśikas. Afflicted at the loss of his sons,  he did not do any dreadful deed for the destruction of Viśvāmitra. He did not transgress Kṛtānta (Death) in order to bring back his lost children from the abode of Yama. It was by obtaining him that the Ikshvākus acquired this earth,  and with him as their purohita,  they performed many great sacrifices. “Therefore acquire a fit purohita” (I,  174). Arjuna wished to hear of the hostility between Viśvāmitra and Vasishṭha. The Gandharva said: This old (purāṇa) story of Vasishṭha they tell in all worlds. In Kānyakubja king Gādhi,  son of Kuśika,  had a son Viśvāmitra,  who,  with his ministers,  used to go a hunting. Once he arrived at the hermitage of Vasishṭha,  who offered him arghya,  etc. from his cow Nandinī,  who yielded everything desired
 Viśvāmitra asked Vasishṭha to give him Nandinī for an arbuda of kine or his kingdom,  but in vain. Then he wanted to take the cow by force. She repaired to Vasishṭha,  who at first did nothing,  saying,  “I am a forgiving brahman”
 but at last he said: “I do not abandon you! Stay if you can!” Hearing this word,  the cow attacked Viśvāmitra's troops
 from her tail she began to rain showers of burning coals
 from her tail she brought forth Pahlavas,  from her udders Drāviḍas and Śakas,  from her womb (yonideśāt) Yavanas,  from her dung (śakṛt) Śabaras,  from her urine Kāñcis,  and from her sides Śarabhas (B. Śabarān and kāṃścid instead of Kāñcīn),  and from the froth of her mouth Pauṇḍras,  Kirātas,  Yavanas,  Siṃhalas,  Barbaras,  Vaśas (B. Khaśān),  Civukas,  Pulindas,  Cīnas,  Hūṇas,  Keralas,  and other Mlecchas,  who attacked Viśvāmitra's soldiers. Viśvāmitra's troops fied,  but none was deprived of life. Viśvāmitra then,  disgusted with kshatriya prowess (“brahman prowess is true prowess”),  set his mind on asceticism,  and finally became a brahman and drank soma with Indra (I,  175).--§ 224: Kalmāshapāda (q.v.)--§ 225. Vasishṭha patiently bore his grief,  and resolved rather to sacrifice his own life than exterminate the Kauśikas. He threw himself down from the summit of Meru,  entered a huge fire in the forest,  and tied a strong weight to his neck and threw himself into the sea,  but all in vain,  and,  in distress of heart,  he returned to his hermitage (I,  176). Beholding it bereft of his children,  he left it again and tied himself strongly with cords and flung himself into a mighty river,  but the stream cut those cords and cast the ṛshi ashore,  whence that river was called Vipāśā. Once more he threw himself into a river flowing from Himavat (Haimavatī),  but the river immediately fled in 100 different directions,  and has since been known by the name of the Śatadru (“śatadhā vidrutā”,  v. 6753). He now again went towards his hermitage,  and was on the way addressed by Adṛśyantī,  the wife of Śaktri,  who had for twelve years borne his child in her womb. Hearing that child in the womb reciting the Vedas with the six Aṅgas,  Vasishṭha refrained from self-destruction,  and,  accompanied by Adṛśyantī,  returned to his hermitage. One day he saw Kalmāshapāda,  who would devour him
 Adṛśyantī was terrified,  but Vasishṭha restrained him by uttering “huṃ”,  and,  sprinkling him with water sanctified by mantras,  and freed him from his curse that had lasted twelve years. Kalmāshapāda promised never more to insult brahmans,  and prevailed upon Vasishṭha that he accompanied him to his capital Ayodhyā and begat a son for him on the queen. Then he went back to his hermitage. After twelve years the queen tore open her womb by a stone,  and then was born the rājarshi Aśmaka,  who founded the city of Paudanya (I,  177).--§ 226: Parāśara (q.v.).
