Desiraju Hanumanta Rao's prose rendering with embedded explanatory notes
The source identifies the constellation Vishvamitra replicates as Ursa Major -- the Big Dipper or Plough, called sapta rishi mandala in Sanskrit -- created in the southern hemisphere in deliberate opposition to the natural constellation's placement in the northern sky. It notes this act coined the term 'vishvaamitra srishti,' Vishvamitra's cloning or creation, applied ever since to anything artificially replicated or synthesized from a natural original, including modern-day hybrids. Whether a southern counterpart to Ursa Major is still identifiable today is left, the source notes, to astronomers.
