Jarītā–Śārṅgā-saṃvāda: Ākhu-haraṇa and the Approach of Agni (आखुहरणं अग्न्यागमनश्च)
तथैवान्यानि सत्त्वानि नानाप्रहरणोद्यमै: । विलयं पावकं शीघ्रमनयन् भरतर्षभ,भरतश्रेष्ठ! इसी प्रकार दूसरे-दूसरे जीवोंने भी अनेक प्रकारके प्रहारों (धूल झोंकने आदि) तथा उद्यमों (जल छिड़कने आदि)-के द्वारा शीघ्रतापूर्वक उस आगको बुझा दिया
tathaivānyāni sattvāni nānā-praharaṇodyamaiḥ | vilayaṁ pāvakaṁ śīghram anayan bharatarṣabha ||
Dijo Vaiśampāyana: “Del mismo modo, otros seres vivos también—mediante diversos golpes y esfuerzos—llevaron pronto aquel fuego a su extinción, oh toro entre los Bhāratas.”

Educational Q&A
When a destructive danger arises, dharma can appear as coordinated, timely action: many beings contribute their efforts to prevent harm, emphasizing shared responsibility over passivity.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that, just as previously described, other creatures also acted with different methods and efforts and quickly extinguished the fire, addressing the listener as ‘bharatarṣabha’.
