Nāgendra–Brāhmaṇa Saṃvāda: Praśna-vidhi and Dharmic Approach on the Gomatī Riverbank
अथ तौ दानवश्रेष्टी वेदान् गृह सनातनान् | रसां विविशतुस्तुर्णमुदक्पूर्वे महोदधौ,सनातन वेदोंका अपहरण करके वे दोनों श्रेष्ठ दानव उत्तर-पूर्ववर्ती महासागरमें घुस गये और तुरंत रसातलमें जा पहुँचे
atha tau dānavāśreṣṭhī vedān gṛhya sanātanān | rasāṃ viviśatuḥ tūrṇam udakpūrve mahodadhau ||
Then those two foremost among the Dānavas, having seized the eternal Vedas, swiftly entered the great ocean lying to the north-east and at once descended into Rasā (the nether region). The episode underscores how the theft or misuse of sacred knowledge is treated as a grave transgression, prompting a cosmic pursuit to restore dharma and rightful custodianship of revelation.
