Nāgendra–Brāhmaṇa Saṃvāda: Praśna-vidhi and Dharmic Approach on the Gomatī Riverbank
अथ किंचिदपश्यन्तौ दानवौ मधुकैटभौ । पुनराजम्मतुस्तत्र वेगितौ पश्यतां च तो
atha kiñcid apaśyantau dānavau madhukaiṭabhau | punar ājagmatustatra vegitau paśyatāṃ ca tau ||
Vaiśampāyana dijo: Entonces, al no ver nada de importancia, los dos dánavas, Madhu y Kaiṭabha, se apresuraron a volver a aquel mismo lugar, aun bajo la mirada de quienes los observaban.

Educational Q&A
The verse hints that lack of true discernment (apaśyantau) leads beings driven by impulse (vegitau) to repeat the same misguided return, illustrating how delusion sustains adharmic patterns rather than enabling a wiser, dharmic choice.
Madhu and Kaiṭabha, finding nothing (or failing to perceive anything) where they are, rush back again to the same place; the narrator notes this return occurs while they are being observed.
