The boat set sail on Narmada and reached where Rishysringa lived. Seeing Vibhandak they were scared and waited for him to leave the hermitage.
When he left, the girls came out and started playing musical instruments and started singing.
Rishysringa was reciting the Vedas. Hearing the music he came to see what was happening. Not able to distinguish between men and women, he thought people from heaven had arrived. He welcomed them and asked them to visit his house.
The old lady and her team was offered some fruits which they refused saying they had not finished their worship. She sat down and closed her eyes. Then said she said was done and as Vishnu's prasad, she offered the sage the sweets and sweetened water.
The sage wanted to know where such fruits were available.The girls asked the sage to follow them, and took him to their boat.
Fearing that Vibhandak may approach soon, the ladies told him to go and promised a visit, the next day.
When Vibhandak came back, Rishyasringa narrated all that had happened. He said rishis from heaven had come and fed him heavenly fruits.
Vibhandak hearing descriptions said they are women, probably rakshasha women who had happened to come there.
The next day Vibhandak was in a dilemma. If stayed back to protect his son, his years of worship would be destroyed. Then he thought, life will carry on. After all these relationships are the shackles of Maya.
Saying this, he lifted his copper pot and tulsi garland and left for the forest.
The old lady was watching this. As soon as Vibhandak left, she approached Rishyasringa.
