Parāvasu and Arvāvasu
Devanagari script
मृगं तु मन्यमानेन पिता वै तेन हिंसितः । अकामयानेन तदा शरीरत्राणमिच्छता,और उसे हिंसक पशु समझकर धोखेसे ही उन्होंने अपने पिताकी हत्या कर डाली। यद्यपि वे ऐसा करना नहीं चाहते थे, तथापि हिंसक पशुसे अपने शरीरकी रक्षाके लिये उनके द्वारा यह क्रूरतापूर्ण कार्य बन गया
Translation
Y, creyendo que era una fiera, hirió de muerte a su padre. No deseaba hacerlo; pero, queriendo entonces salvar su propio cuerpo de aquello que juzgaba una bestia violenta, cometió sin intención aquel acto cruel.
